6. Operation
6.2 On/ Off switch (Fig. 13)
Press the green switch ‘I’ to switch on the machine.
The belt (19) tightens by lowering the motor.
After setting the speed, re-tighten the adjusting
bolt (17), close the belt cover (16) and screw the
safety screws (13) back in.
Refer to the table inside the belt cover (16) for
recommended speeds.
5.4.1 Choosing the correct speed
Always use the lowest speed when working on
a new workpiece and increase the speed slowly.
Choose the speed accoring to the table inside
the belt cover (16). Start on low speed if the
workpiece is not round.
Choosing the right speed depends on various
factors (e.g. size, material, imbalance of the
workpiece)
Rule of thumb: for big, hard, out of round
workpieces - low speed
5.5 Changing from spur center to face plate
Use the supplied spanners (14) to loosen the
(Fig. 11-12)
spur center (2). Put one of the spanners on the
spindle just behind the spur center (2).
Use the second spanner (14) to loosen the spur
center (2) by turning it anti clockwise while
holding with the other spanner against it. Take
the spur center (2) off the spindle.
Screw the face plate (15) onto the thread of the
spindle and tighten it with the two spanners (14).
5.6 Spur center and revolving live center (Fig. 1)
The spur center (2) is used to transfer the motor
power between the centers onto the workpiece.
When positioning a workpiece between the spur
center (2) and the live center (4), make sure the
center hole is drilled deep enough.
Center drill diameter: 5-8 mm.
Clamping pressure not too high. If the clapming
is too high, the workpiece might bent and break.
To avoid damage of the threads and bearings, use
rubber or wood hammer to put the spur center (2)
into position on the face side of the workpiece.
The revolving live center (4) prevents the center
hole in the workpiece to burn out.
6.1 Important operating instructions
Check the workpiece for brnaches and drying
cracks. Only use wood without cracks and big
branches (adjust the clapming pressure
accordingly if the workpiece has small branches).
Always test by hands that the workpiece
is fixed properly. Important! Pull power plug.
Only use original lathe chisels which are properly
sharpened.
Do not stand in the fly circle of the workpiece
when working on a wood disc.
Pre-cut big and imbalanced wood pieces with a
band or drop saw.Big imbalance of the workpiece
risks your safety and the life of the machine.
Always start on the lowest speed when working
on a new workpiece and slowly increase the speed.
Never use wood with shrinkage cracks.
Do not use workpieces bigger than the max. size
allowed (refer to Section 4).
If the machine gets stuck, pull power plug before
doing any repair.
Fix the workpiece between spur center (2) or
face plate (15) and live center (4). First tighten the
tailstock (6) with the release lever (10). Then fix the
workpiece by turning the handwheel (8).
Position yourself at the machine in a way that
enables you to support the lathe chisel on the tool
rest (3).
Press the red switch ‘0’ to switch off the machine.
