(g) Use lowest speed when starting new work piece.
SAFETYRULES
1. KEEPGUARDSIN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
4. DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept
at a safe distance from the work area.
6. MAKE YOUR WORKSHOP KID PROOF with

keys.
7. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table A
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the chord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face
or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the
work when practical. It's safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp
and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when
changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters,
and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure power switch is in the OFF
position before plugging the machine in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the
owner's manual for recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ONTOOL Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function - check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until itcomes to

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3 pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150
volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in
Fig. 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Fig. 1. A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
Sketch B and C, may be used to connect this plug to
a 2 pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted in
Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the
like, extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150
–250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch D.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Sketch D. Make sure the tool is
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or
should be used with this tool. If the tool must be
reconnected for use on a different type of electric
circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.

LOCKINGTHELATHE
Fig L006 - Method of locking the Laguna Revo Lathe. (1)
Constructed 3 side box with padlock holes. (2) Padlocks.
It is strongly recommended that the lathe is never left
unattended in the unlocked condition. To lock the
machine it is recommended that a cover (not supplied) is
constructed according to the supplied concept displayed
in Fig L006.
NoiseEmission
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 working environment other sources of
dust and noise etc. For example, adjacent machines in
other words the level of ambient noise. It is possible that
exposure level limits will vary from country to country.

Receiving
It is likely that your machine will be delivered by a third party. Before unboxing, be sure to inspect the packaging and
shipping documents supplied by the driver. Ensure that there is no visible damage to the shipment. If any damage has
occurred because of shipment, note the damage on the bill of lading or refuse the shipment. Immediately call the dealer
store where the machine was purchased.
1. Never accept a shipment that is damaged or partial without notifying the shipping company and the purchasing store.
Placement
Prior to removing the machine from the packaging, decide the operating location of the machine. The dimensions and
floor space can be found earlier in this manual @ “Dimensions” or “Specifications”.
1. There should be sufficient area at the front of the machine to allow you to work on it comfortably.
2. There should be sufficient area at the back of the machine to allow access for adjustments and maintenance to be
conducted.
3. The better the lighting the more accurately and safely you will be able to work.
4. You should select a solid flat floor, preferably one made of concrete or something similar.
5. Locate it close to a power source and dust collection (if applicable).
Unboxing
Once in place, carefully unbox and remove all components. Unboxing guidelines:
1. Do not cut deep into a box with a blade as it could scratch the paint; only cut deep enough to cut the tape or use a dull
edge.
