Dear Woodworker,
Thank you for your purchase and welcome to the Laguna Tools group of
discerning woodworkers. I understand that you have a choice of where to
purchase your machines and appreciate the confidence you have shown in
our products.
Every machine sold by Laguna Tools has been carefully designed and well
thought through from a woodworker’s perspective. I cut on our bandsaws,
lathes, table saws and combination machines. Through my hands-on
experience, I work hard to make our machines better. I strive to give you
machines that inspire you to create works of art; machines that are a joy to
run and work on; machines that encourage your performance.
Today, we offer high-performance machines with innovative solutions that
meet the needs of woodworkers and their ever-evolving craft.
I started Laguna Tools as a woodworker, I still am one.
Thank you again for becoming a Laguna Tools customer.

Noise emission
Notes concerning noise emission:
Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and exposure times, it
is not precise enough to determine the need for supplementary precautions. The
factors affecting the true level of exposure to operators are clearly the amount of
time exposed; the characteristics of the working environment, such as other
sources of dust and noise, etc. For example, adjacent machines may impact the
level of ambient noise. It is also possible that exposure level limits will vary from
country to country.
Specification sheet
Receiving your machine
Note: It is probable that your machine will be delivered by a third party. Before
you unpack your new machine, you will first need to inspect the packing, invoice
and shipping documents supplied by the driver.
Ensure that there is no visible damage to the packing or to the machine. You
must do this prior to the driver leaving. All damage must be noted on the delivery
documents and signed by you and the delivery driver. You must then contact the
seller (Laguna Tools, Inc.) as soon as is practical. If damage is found after
delivery, contact the seller as soon as is practical.
Note: It is probable that you will find sawdust within your machine. This is
because the machine has been tested prior to shipment from the factory and or

Where to locate your machine
Before you remove your machine from the packaging, select the area where you
will use your machine. There are no hard-and-fast rules for its location, but below
are a few guidelines:
1. There should be an area at the front of the machine suitable for comfortable
working.
2. There should be sufficient area at the back of the machine to allow access for
adjustments and maintenance to be conducted.
3. Adequate lighting. The better the lighting, the more accurately and safely you
will be able to work.
4. Solid workbench or similar.
5. Locate it close to a power source and dust collection point.
6. Allow an area for the storage of blanks, finished products and tools.
Unpacking your machine
To unpack your machine, you will
need tin snips and a knife.
1. Using the tin snips, cut the
banding that is securing the packing
box (If fitted) to the pallet.
WARNING: EXTREME CAUTION
MUST BE USED, AS THE
BANDING WILL SPRING AND
COULD CAUSE INJURY.
2. Open the box and remove the
parts that are supplied with the lathe.
3. Remove the upper packaging.
4. Lift out the lathe and place it on the workbench.
Note: The lathe is heavy, and you will need two people to lift it out of the
packaging.
Note: If you have any doubt about the described procedure, seek professional
assistance. Do not attempt any procedure that you feel is unsafe or that you may
not have the physical capability of achieving.

Assembly and setup
The machine comes mostly assembled. You will have to assemble the optional
back tool rest holder onto the bed of the machine.
Clamping Screws
Back tool rest holder
Tool rest moved from the bed of
the lathe to the back tool rest
holder
1. Fit the back tool rest holder to the rear of
the lathe with the three ratchet clamping
screws.
2. Remove the tool rest holder from the bed
of the lathe by removing the clamping nut on
the underside of the bed of the lathe.
3. Replace the nut onto the thread and slide
onto the tool rest holder.
4. Adjust the nut until the clamping handle
locks the tool rest holder.
Connecting the electrical supply
Ensure that the electrical supply corresponds
with that of the machine (single phase 110V).
It is recommended that you use a 15-amp main breaker.
Cleaning the machine
Remove the rust protection grease with WD 40 or a similar solvent.
It is important that you remove all the grease and re-lubricate with a Teflon-based
lubricant. Teflon has less tendency to attract sawdust and cause clogging.
