5.1 Delivery
Check the Wood Lathe for visible shipping damage after
delivery. If you discover damage to the Wood Lathe, im-
mediately report it to the carrier or dealer.
Transport
Improper transport is accident-prone and can cause da-
mage or malfunctions for which we do not grant any liabi-
lity or guarantee.
Transport the scope of delivery secured against shifting
or tilting with a sufficiently dimensioned industrial truck to
the installation site.
General risks during internal transport
Devices may only be transported by authorized and qua-
lified persons. Act responsibly during transport and al-
ways consider the consequences. Refrain from daring
and risky actions.
Gradients and descents (e.g. driveways, ramps and the
like) are particularly dangerous. If such passages are
unavoidable, special caution is required.
Before starting the transport check the transport route for
possible danger points, unevenness and disturban-ces
as well as for sufficient strength and load capacity.
Danger points, unevenness and disturbance points must
be inspected before transport. The removal of danger
spots, disturbances and unevenness at the time of trans-
port by other employees leads to considerable dangers.
Careful planning of internal transport is therefore essen-
tial.
Transport with a forklift / pallet truck:
For shipping, the device packed in a wooden box is deli-
vered on a pallet so that it can be transported by a forklift
or a pallet truck.
5.2 Packaging
All of the machine‘s packaging materials and packing
aids are suitable for recycling and must always be dis-
posed of using material-based recycling systems.
Packaging materials made of cardboard must be shred-
ded and disposed of as part of waste paper recycling.
The foils are made of polyethylene (PE), padding is
made of polystyrene (PS). Dispose of these substances
at a recycling centre or hand them over to the relevant
waste disposal company.
5.3 Storage
The Wood Lathe must be thoroughly cleaned before it is
stored in a dry, clean and frost-free environment. Cover
the machine with a protective tarpaulin.
Ambient temperature range: -25 ° C to +55 ° C.
WARNING!
Severe or fatal injuries may occur if parts of the
machine tumble or fall down from the forklift
truck, pallet truck or from the transport vehicle.
Follow the instructions and information on the trans-
port box.
Note the total weight of the machine. The weight of
the machine is indicated in the "Technical data" of the
machine. When the machine is unpacked, the weight
of the machine can also be read on the rating plate.
Only use transport devices and load suspension gear
that can hold the total weight of the machine.
WARNING!
The use of unstable lifting and load suspension
equipment that might break under load can cause
severe injuries or even death. Check that the lifting
and load suspension gear has sufficient load-bea-
ring capacity and that it is in perfect condition.
Observe the accident prevention regulations issued
by your Employers Liability Insurance Association or
other competent supervisory authority, responsible
for your company.
Fasten the loads properly.
WARNING: DANGER OF TIPPING
The device may be lifted unsecured by a maximum
of 2cm.
Employees must be outside the danger zone, the
reach of loads.
Warn employees and, if necessary, advise employ-
ees of the hazard.

8.9 Material selection
The wood must be of good quality and without defects
such as Cross cracks or branches. Faulty wood tends to
splinter and we risk user and machine. Workpieces
made of glued woods should only be worked by an expe-
rienced craftsman. The turning of these woods requires
a careful gluing without weak spots, because the work-
piece can explode due to the resulting centrifugal force.
8.10 Material preparation
For the turning of long wood, the material must first be
cut to a square shape. For turning wood, the material
must also be cut to size. For example, you can saw out
the cross-section of the cross-piece with a band saw.
Suitable is an octagonal shape, thereby vibration can be
avoided.

Care,maintenance and repair
8.11 Center workpiece
The centering of the prepared workpieces is an import-
ant operation prior to insertion into the machine. Cente-
ring means measuring the center of the workpiece, mar-
king with grains and punching a recess of 1.5 to 2 mm
diameter into the center. If the workpiece is not centered
exactly, the imbalance causes excessive vibrations. A
spin out of the workpiece can be the result.
Fig. 16: Center of the workpiece
8.12 Position of the tool rest
Position the tool support approx. 3.2 mm away from the
edge of the workpiece and approx. 3.2 mm above the
center of the workpiece.
.

8.13 During the turning
The still unprocessed workpiece must be machined at
low speed. After the preturning, that is, when the basic
shape of the workpiece, as well as a uniform concentri-
city is reached, the speed can be increased. The revol-
ving center point must be readjusted in between using
the handwheel with the motor switched off. The center of
the grain must be firmly in the wood. Turn the workpiece
by hand to check the tight fit between the tips.
9 Care,maintenance and repair
9.1 Care after work
