General Safety Rules
Please operate the lathe with awareness of the potential for injury. If you have any doubts
about safety, please contact your local dealer before using.
Warning! Failure to follow the listed rules may result in serious personal injury.
TO ENSURE SAFE USE, READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL.
ALWAYS USE A FULL-FACE SHIELD. A full-face shield will protect your eyes and face.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN and have good lighting.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets or other jewelry, which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
also recommended. Secure long hair.
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE from the power supply before servicing and changing
accessories.
NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. Do not leave the lathe
unless it is turned “OFF” and completely stopped.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not use a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
intended or designed.
TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES on the headstock, tailstock, and the tool rest before
operating the lathe.
Before turning a large wood piece, it is advisable to reduce the excess before mounting
the stock to the lathe. When turning a large wood piece, the turner should not stand in
line with the workpiece in order to avoid being struck by a wood piece ejected by an
imbalance.
Hold the tool handle firmly to avoid the rebound.

screws.
3. After firmly securing the legs to the lathe, carefully lower the lathe onto the floor.
4. Install four leveling feet (B), and tighten four nuts(C) against the legs. (These can be
adjusted later.) Make sure that the lathe does not rock.

Speed Range Adjustment
(Refer to Fig. 11)
The lathe is designed having two speed ranges: Low Range: 60-1000 rpm and High
Range: 2000-3500 rpm.
In each range, the speed can be changed variably by the electronic variable speed
controller.
Follow the steps below to change the speed range:
1. Disconnect the lathe from the power supply;
2. Open the HeadStock Guard which is held by a strong magnetic pad;
3. Loosen the Motor Locking Handle “A”, pull up the Motor Mount Handle to release the belt
tension;
4. Position the belt on the desired speed range pulleys;
5. Turn the spindle hand wheel by hand, ensuring that the belt rotates smoothly and is
engaged with both the motor pulley and the spindle pulley;
6. Tighten the belt by pushing down the motor mount handle, then tighten the motor locking
handle “A”. Close the HeadStock Guard.
Fig. 11
Note: The best belt tension is determined by pressing the belt with one finger. The belt
should deflect about 1/4” -1/2” (about 6-12mm).
