2. General Health & Safety Guidance
Ensure that you carefully read and fully understand the
instructions in this manual before assembly, installation and
use of this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place for
future reference.
WARNING: for your own safety, do not attempt to operate this machine
until it is completely assembled and installed according to these
instructions.
WARNING: When using any machine, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury.
Safe Operation
1. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• The operation of any machine can result in foreign objects being thrown
into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Protective eye
wear or other suitable eye protection or face shield should be used at
all times. Everyday spectacles only have impact resistant lenses. They are
not protective eye wear and do not give additional lateral protection.
• Use respiratory protective equipment (dust mask etc.) if the machining
operation creates dust. Exposure to high levels of dust created by
machining hardwoods, softwoods and man made composite boards can
result in serious health problems. Some imported hardwoods give off
highly irritating dust, which can cause a burning sensation. The use of
respiratory protective equipment should not be seen as an alternative
to controlling the risk of exposure at source by using adequate dust
extraction equipment.
• The use of ear plugs or ear defenders is recommended when the
machine is in use, particularly if the noise level exceeds 85 dB.
• Wear suitable protective gloves when handling cutting tools or blades.
Gloves should NOT be worn when using the machine as they can be
caught in moving parts of the machine.
• Non-slip safety footwear is recommended when using the machine and
handling large work pieces.
2. Dress appropriately
• Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they can be caught in
moving parts of the machine.
• Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
3. Safety warnings
• Find and read any warning labels on the machine.
• It is important that any labels bearing health and safety warnings are
not removed, defaced or covered. Replacement labels can be obtained
by contacting our Customer Service Department.
4. Familiarise yourself with the machine
• If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine,
obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person
or contact your retailer for information on training courses. Do not use
this machine until adequate training has been undertaken.
5. Take care when moving or positioning the machine
• Some machines can be very heavy. Ensure the floor of the area in which
the machine is to be used is capable of supporting the machine.
• The machine and its various components can be heavy.
Always adopt a safe lifting technique and seek assistance when
lifting heavy components. In some cases it may be necessary to use
mechanical handling equipment to position the machine within the
work area.
• Some machines have optional wheel kits available to allow them to be
manoeuvred around the workshop as required. Care should be taken to
install these according to the instructions provided.
• Due to the nature of the design of some machines the centre of gravity
will be high making them unstable when moved. Extreme care should
be taken when moving any machine.
• If transportation of the machine is required then all precautions relating
to the installation and handling of the machine apply. In addition,
ensure that any vehicles or manual handling equipment used for
transportation are of adequate specification.
6. The machine should be level and stable at all times
• When using a leg stand or cabinet base that is designed to be fitted to
the machine, always ensure that it is securely fastened to the machine
using the fixings provided.
• If the machine is suitable to be used on a workbench, ensure that the
workbench is well constructed and capable of withstanding the weight
of the machine. The machine should always be securely fastened to the
workbench with appropriate fixings.
• Where possible, floor standing machines should always be secured to
the floor with fixings appropriate to the structure of the floor.
• The floor surface should be sound and level. All of the feet of the
machine should make contact with the floor surface. If they do not,
either re-locate the machine to a more suitable position or use packing
shims between the feet and the floor surface to ensure the machine is
stable.
7. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
• Ensure that all adjusting wrenches and keys are removed before
switching the machine ‘ON’. There is a risk of severe personal injury or
damage to the machine from airborne objects.
8. Before switching the machine ‘ON’
• Clear the machine table of all objects (tools, scrap pieces etc.)
• Make sure there is no debris between the work piece and the table /
work support.
• Ensure that the work piece is not pressed against, or touching the saw
blade or cutting tool.
• Check all clamps, work holding devices and fences to ensure that they
are secure and cannot move during machining operations.
• Plan the way that you will hold and feed the work piece for the entire
machining operation.
9. Whilst machining
• Before starting work, watch the machine while it runs. If it makes
an unfamiliar noise or vibrates excessively, switch the machine ‘OFF’
immediately and disconnect it from the power supply. Do not restart
until finding and correcting the source of the problem.
10. Keep the work area clear
• Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between
machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine
without limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs,
size of material to be processed through each machine and space for
auxiliary stands and/or work tables. Also consider the relative position
of each machine to one another for efficient material handling. Be sure
to allow yourself sufficient room to safely operate your machines in any
foreseeable operation.
• Cluttered work areas and benches create the risk of accidents. Keep
benches clear and tidy away tools that are not in use.
• Ensure that the floor area is kept clean and clear of any dust and debris
that may create trip or slip hazards.
11. Consider the work area environment
• Do not expose the machine to rain or damp conditions.
• Keep the work area well lit and ensure that there is artificial lighting
available when there is insufficient natural light to effectively light the
work area. Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and
prevent eye strain.
• Do not use the machine in explosive environments e.g. in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• The presence of high levels of dust created by machining wood can
present a risk of fire or explosion. Always use dust extraction equipment
to minimise the risk.
12. Keep other persons away (and pets)
• The machine is designed to be used by one person only.
• Do not let persons, especially children, touch the machine or extension
cable (if used) and keep visitors away from the work area.
• Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power supply off
and do not leave the machine unattended until it comes to a complete
stop.
• If the work area is to be left unattended, all machinery should be
switched ‘OFF’ and isolated from the mains power supply.
13. Store machines safely when not in use
• When not in use, machines should be stored in a dry place, out of reach
of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with these instructions or
with the machine to operate it.
14. Do not overreach
• Choose a working position that allows your body to remain balanced
and feed the work piece in to the machine without overreaching.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

2. General Health & Safety Guidance
15. Electrical supply
• Electrical circuits should be dedicated to each machine or large
enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Power outlets should be
located near each machine so that power or extension cables are not
obstructing high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical guidelines for
proper installation of new lighting, power outlets, or circuits.
• The machine must be connected to an earthed power supply.
• The power supply must be equipped with a circuit breaker that provides
short circuit, overload and earth leakage protection.
• The voltage of the machine must correspond to the voltage of the mains
power supply.
• The mains plug fitted to the machine should always match the power
outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way. If a replacement plug is
required it should be fitted by a competent person and of the correct
type and rating for the machine.
• If you are unsure about any electrical connections always consult a
qualified electrician.
16. Avoid unintentional starting of the machine
• Most machines are fitted with a no-volt release (NVR) switch to prevent
unintentional starting. If in doubt always ensure the machine switch
is in the ‘OFF’ position before connecting it to the power supply. This
means the machine will not automatically start up after a power cut or
switching on of the power supply, unless you first reset the start switch.
17. Outdoor use
• Your machine should not be used outdoors.
18. Extension cables
• Whenever possible, the use of extension cables is not recommended.
If the use of an extension cable is unavoidable, then it should have
a minimum core cross section of 2.5mm² and limited to a maximum
length of 3 metres.
• Extension cables should be routed away from the direct working area to
prevent a trip hazard.
19. Guard against electric shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes
and radiators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
20. Always work within the machine’s intended capacities
• Operator safety and machine performance are seriously adversely
affected if attempts to make the machine perform beyond its limits are
made.
21. Do not abuse the power cable
• Never pull the power cable to disconnect it from the power socket.
Always use the plug.
• Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Do not use the power cable for carrying or moving the machine.
22. Secure the work piece
• Ensure that the work piece is securely held before starting to machine it.
• When working within 300 mm of the machining area, always use a
push stick to feed the work piece in to the blade or cutting tool. The
push stick should have a minimum length of 400 mm. If the push stick
becomes damaged, replace it immediately.
• Use extra supports (roller support stands etc.) for any work pieces large
enough to tip when not held down to the table top.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or as
additional support for a work piece that is longer or wider than the
basic table, or to help feed, support, or pull the work piece.
• Do not attempt to machine more than one work piece at a time.
• When feeding the work piece towards the blade or cutting tool never
position your hands in direct line of the cutting path. Avoid awkward
operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand or fingers to move into the machining area.
23. Stay alert
• Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all
times when the machine is being used.
• Use all machines with extreme care and do not use the machine when
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
24. Use the correct tool for the job
• Do not use the machine for any purpose other than which it was
designed.
• When selecting replacement cutting tools and blades, always ensure
that they are designed to cut the material that you intend to use them
for. If in any doubt seek further advice from the manufacturer.
25. Connect dust extraction equipment
• Always use dust extraction equipment. The dust extractor should be of
suitable size and capacity for the machine that it is connected to and
have a filtration level appropriate to the type of waste being collected.
Refer to the relevant section of the manual for details of the specific
dust extraction requirements for this machine.
• The dust extractor should be switched ‘ON’ before starting the machine
that it is connected to. The dust extractor should be left running for 30
seconds after the last machining operation is complete in order to clear
any residual waste from the machine.
26. Ensure that the machine is correctly guarded
• Never use the machine if any of the standard safety guards and
equipment are removed or damaged.
• Some machines incorporate safety interlocks to prevent the machine
from being used without the guards in place. Never attempt to bypass
or modify the interlocks to allow the machine to be used without the
guards in place.
27. Maintain your machine with care
• This manual gives clear instructions on installation, set up and
operation of the machine and also details any routine and preventative
maintenance that should be performed periodically by the user.
• Remember always to switch off and unplug the machine from the power
supply before carrying out any setting up or maintenance operations.
• Follow any instructions for the maintenance of accessories and
consumables.
• Do not use compressed air to clean the machine. Always use a brush to
dislodge dust in places that are awkward to reach and a dust extractor
to collect the waste.
• Inspect electric cables periodically and, if damaged, have them replaced
by an authorised service facility or qualified electrician.
• Inspect extension cables (if used) periodically and replace if damaged.
28. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean
• Correctly maintained cutting tools are easier to control and less likely to
bind.
• Cutting tools and blades can become hot during use. Take extreme care
when handling them and always allow them to cool before changing,
adjusting or sharpening them.
29. Disconnect the machine from the power supply
• When not in use, before servicing, changing blades etc. always
disconnect the machine from the power supply.
30. Check for damaged parts
• Before each use of the machine, it 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 and any other conditions that may affect the operation of
the machine.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by a qualified person unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual.
• Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn the machine ‘ON’
and ‘OFF’.
• Have defective switches replaced by a qualified person.
31. Warning!
• The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those recommended
in this instruction manual, or recommended by our Company may
present a risk of personal injury or damage to the machine and
invalidation of the warranty.
32. Have your machine repaired by a qualified person
• This machine complies with the relevant safety rules and standards
appropriate to its type when used in accordance with these instructions
and with all of the standard safety guards and equipment in place. Only
qualified persons using original spare parts should carry out repairs.
Failure to do this may result in considerable danger to the user and
invalidation of warranty.

33. Caution! Motor may become hot during use
• It is normal for motors on some machines to become hot to the touch
during use. Avoid touching the motor directly when in use.
2. General Health & Safety Guidance
3. Additional Health & Safety Guidance for Woodturning
Lathes
Safe Operation
Familiarise yourself with the machine
• Machining operations using wood turning lathes have a history of serious
accidents. Most serious accidents resulted from the work piece being
thrown from the lathe whilst turning. Other accidents can be caused
by loose clothing being drawn in to the rotating work piece or hands
becoming trapped between the rotating work piece and fixed parts of the
lathe.
2. Before switching the machine ‘ON’
• Before attaching a work piece to a faceplate, always prepare it to be as
round as possible. This will minimise vibration whilst turning. For further
instructions please see the section of this manual entitled Intended Use
of the Lathe & Basic Woodturning Instructions.
• Adjust the tool rest to the correct height and distance from the work piece
and check that all fixings are secure.
• Check that the size of the work piece is within the safe working capacities
of the lathe as detailed in the manual.
• Select the correct speed according to the size and type of work piece.
The slowest speed is the safest speed to start any new work piece.
• Always rotate the work piece by hand before starting the lathe to ensure it
does not come into contact with the tool rest. If the work piece strikes the
tool rest during operation, it could be split and thrown from the lathe.
• When using a faceplate always ensure the work piece is well secured with
screws of a suitable diameter and length.
• Remove any loose knots and bark from the work piece before mounting it
to the lathe.
• If mounting a work piece between centres, always ensure that the tailstock
is correctly adjusted and fully secure. Check that the locking handle for the
tailstock barrel is fully tightened.
3. Whilst using the lathe
• Do not allow the turning tool to dig in to the work piece, which could
result in the work piece splitting or being thrown from the lathe. Always
position the tool rest at the correct height. For further instructions please
see the section of this manual entitled Intended Use of the Lathe &
Basic Woodturning Instructions.
• Before starting to machine a work piece that is off centre or not perfectly
round, always set the machine to the slowest speed and gradually increase
speed as the work piece becomes more balanced as material is removed.
Running the lathe too fast could cause the work piece to be thrown from
the lathe or the turning tool to be snatched from your hands.
• Always store turning tools in a safe place away from the work area of the
lathe. Never reach over the rotating work piece to reach for turning tools
or accessories.
• Never attempt to adjust the position of the tool rest whilst the machine is
running. Always switch the machine ‘OFF’ and wait until the work piece
has stopped rotating before attempting any adjustments.
• Do not mount a work piece that contains excessive splits or loose knots or
bark.
• Keep firm hold and control of the turning tool at all times. Use extreme
caution when knots and voids are exposed in the work piece.
• Finish all hand sanding before removing the work piece from the lathe.
Do not exceed the speed used for the last cutting operation. For further
instructions please see the section of this manual entitled Intended Use
of the Lathe & Basic Woodturning Instructions.
• Do not attempt to remount a work piece that has been turned on a
faceplate unless you are deliberately turning eccentric work. You cannot
remount faceplate turned work and expect it to run true, as the timber will
have expanded or contracted.
• Do not remount a work piece that has been turned between centres if the
original centres have been altered or removed, unless you are deliberately
turning eccentric work.
• If re-mounting any work piece, always set the machine to the slowest
speed and gradually increase the speed as the work piece becomes more
balanced as material is removed.
• Use extra caution when mounting a work piece that has been turned
between centres to a faceplate, or when mounting a faceplate turning
between centres, for subsequent machining operations. Always ensure that
the lathe is set to the slowest speed before switching ON.
• Do not attempt to perform any machining operations when holding the
work piece by hand.
• Do not mount a reamer, milling cutter, wire wheel, buffing wheel, drill bit
or any other tool to the headstock spindle.
• Always ensure that the turning tool is in contact with the tool rest and
fully supported before applying the tool to the work piece.
• When the tool rest base unit is not in use (e.g. when sanding), it should be
moved away from the headstock, and the tool rest removed.
4. Maintenance
• Before attempting any maintenance and particularly when cleaning the
machine, always remove any accessories and tooling from the machine.
• Always ensure that any accessories used on the lathe are kept clean and
free from rust and deposits of resin.
• Keep all turning tools sharp and in good condition. Check that the handles
are secure and not split or damaged.
5. This machine falls under the scope of the ‘Health & Safety at Work etc. Act
1974’, and the ‘Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998’. In
addition the elimination or control of risks from wood dust is included in
the above regulations and the ‘Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
(COSHH) Regulations 2002’. We recommend that you study and follow
these regulations.
Further guidance is available from The Health & Safety Executive and

103890 Coronet Falcon Traditional Live Centre, 2 Morse Taper
This live centre features two high quality sealed-for-life bearings, giving incredibly smooth rotation and the 60º point is optimised to give the
best grip possible from a single point of contact. It is ideal for use on spindle work and can also be used to support headstock-mounted bowls
and larger vessels from the tailstock.
4. Coronet Falcon Traditional Live Centre,
2 Morse Taper
5. Coronet Falcon Ring Centre, 2 Morse Taper
103900 Coronet Falcon Ring Centre, 2 Morse Taper
This ring centre features two high quality sealed-for-life bearings, giving extremely smooth rotation. The ring design gives a larger area of contact
than a traditional live centre for an increased grip. This makes it ideal for supporting small or brittle timbers and works very well with paper-jointed
blanks, giving a strong grip to both pieces of timber either side of the joint.
Another great advantage of this design is that workpieces can be removed and refitted to the lathe accurately, thanks to the positive location of the
centre point and ring, which can be used for easy registration.

6. Coronet Hawk 4-Prong Drive Centres
103840 Coronet Hawk 16 mm 6-Prong Drive Centre, 2 Morse Taper
103830 Coronet Hawk 22 mm 6-Prong Drive Centre, 2 Morse Taper
103820 Coronet Hawk 32 mm 6-Prong Drive Centre, 2 Morse Taper
The design of the 6-prong drive centres offers an enhanced grip to timber using the principle of opposing tooth profiles. The central point of the tool
secures the drive centre in place, the six teeth around it grip the timber securely and the opposing tooth pattern ensures the wood fibres are pulled
together to reduce the chance of splitting. Having two more teeth than the traditional 4-prong drive centres, they are ideal for use on hardwoods
and larger pieces of wood.
The 32 mm diameter drive centre is ideal for holding side-grain bowl blanks. It is also suitable for holding natural-edged bowls between centres,
particularly if seated inside a 32 mm diameter recess, for extra support from the recess walls.
The 16 and 22 mm drive centres are ideal for holding spindle work.
7. Coronet Hawk 6-Prong Drive Centres
103810 Coronet Hawk 16 mm 4-Prong Drive Centre, 2 Morse Taper
103800 Coronet Hawk 22 mm 4-Prong Drive Centre, 2 Morse Taper
The traditional 4-prong drive centre is designed to give a strong hold to timber using the principle of opposing tooth profiles. The central point of
the tool secures the drive centre in place, the four teeth around it grip the timber securely and the opposing tooth pattern ensures the wood fibres
are pulled together to reduce the chance of splitting.
The 22 mm diameter drive centre is ideal for use on large square or round profiled spindle stock and the smaller 16 mm drive centre for small to
medium-sized spindle stock.

103880 Coronet Hawk 10 mm Multi-Tooth Drive Centre, 2 Morse Taper
103870 Coronet Hawk 16 mm Multi-Tooth Drive Centre, 2 Morse Taper
103860 Coronet Hawk 22 mm Multi-Tooth Drive Centre, 2 Morse Taper
103850 Coronet Hawk 32 mm Multi-Tooth Drive Centre, 2 Morse Taper
These multi-tooth drive centres feature a ring of teeth around the circumference of the tip, with a central drive point to give accurate positioning.
This design gives an extremely strong grip, thanks to the many points of contact in the timber, which also minimises the risk of splitting the
timber.
As the grip is spread across many small teeth rather than 4 or 6 prongs, it is possible to grip the timber sufficiently just by using the clamping
pressure of the lathe tailstock – no need to drive the tips into the wood with a mallet.
Another benefit of this design is that your work can be removed from the lathe and accurately repositioned, using the centre point and ting of
teeth as an accurate guide.
These drives also give a fantastic grip to paper-joint wood blanks, as the ring of teeth grip on many points across the drive’s circumference across
both sections of wood on either side of the joint.
The 32 mm diameter drive centre is ideal for holding side-grain bowl blanks. It is also suitable for holding natural-edged bowls between centres,
particularly if seated inside a 32 mm diameter recess, for extra support from the recess walls.

9. Operation
Fitting the Coronet Falcon Traditional Live Centre and
Coronet Falcon Ring Centre to the lathe tailstock
Insert the live centre or ring centre into the tailstock quill, as shown in
Fig 9.1.
Removing the Coronet Falcon Traditional Live Centre and
Coronet Falcon Ring Centre from the lathe tailstock
For self-ejecting tailstock designs, loosen the quill locking lever and
rotate the hand wheel anti-clockwise to retract the quill and remove
the centre.
For non-self-ejecting tailstock designs, remove by placing the knockout
bar into the hole positioned at the opposite side of the tailstock from
the live centre or ring centre and give the centre a sharp knock to
dislodge it.
Fig 9.1 Coronet Falcon Ring Centre shown.
Fitting the Coronet Hawk 4-Prong, 6-Prong and Multi-Tooth
Drive Centres to the lathe headstock
Before fitting the drive centre to the headstock, ensure that any
additional accessories such as faceplates and chucks have been
removed from the spindle.
To ensure that the 4-prong and 6-prong drive centres are securely
attached to the workpiece prior to use, on the face of the timber, mark
two diagonal lines from the top edge to the bottom edge to create
an X, locating the centre point of the face, Fig 9.2. Then, position the
product into the centre point of the two lines previously marked and
tap the centre with reasonable force until it bites into the timber, using
a soft mallet.
Note: This process is not required for multi-prong drive centres, as
tailstock pressure will sufficiently secure the workpiece in place.
Insert the drive centre into the headstock spindle, as shown in Fig 9.3.
Removing the Coronet Hawk 4-Prong, 6-Prong and Multi-
Tooth Drive Centres from the lathe headstock
Place the knockout bar into the hole positioned at the opposite side of
the headstock from the drive centre and give the centre a sharp knock

Falcon Ring Centre and Coronet Hawk 4-Prong, 6-Prong and
Multi-Tooth Drive Centres
Periodically check the product for build-up of residue, dust and debris
which could impair its movement. Prior to use, carefully wipe the face
and morse taper using a dry cloth. To protect the centre from rust when
stored, apply a liberal amount of protective oil/ spray across the surface.
Excess materials could become lodged within the teeth of the drive
centres. To remove, gently brush any excess away using a wire brush.
Cleaning the Lathe Tailstock Quill and Headstock Spindle
Regular maintenance of the tailstock quill and headstock spindle is
recommended, so that each centre can be secured and positioned
correctly and help to prevent damage to the centre or the lathe.
Carefully brush each orifice of the lathe using a hole cleaning brush,
removing any excess materials.
