UNPACKING AND CLEANING
1. Finish removing the wooden crate from around the lathe
2. Check all the accessories of the machine tool according to the packing
list.
3. Unbolt the lathe from the shipping crate bottom.
4. Choose a location for the lathe that is dray, has good lighting and has
enough room to be able to service the lathe on all four sides.
5. With adequate lifting equipment, slowly raise the lathe off the shipping
crate bottom. Do not lift by spindle. Make sure lathe is balanced before
moving to sturdy bench or stand.
6. To avoid twisting the bed, the lathe's location must be absolutely flat and
level. Bolt the lathe to the stand (if used). 1f using a bench, through bolt
for best performance.
7. Clean all rust protected surfaces using a mild commercial solvent,
kerosene or diesel fuel. Do not use paint thinner, gasoline or lacquer
thinner. These will damage painted surfaces. Cover all cleaned surfaces
with a light film of 20W machine oil.
8. Remove the end gear cover. Clean all components of the end gear
assembly and coat all gears with heavy, non-slinging grease.
LATHE ADJUSTMENTS
MAKE SURE THE POWER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION
AND THE SPEED IS TURNED DOWN TO ZERO BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO THIS DEVICE.
Chuck Replacement: Turn the lathe off and unplug it from its power
source. Place the tailstock as far away from the chuck as possible and
place a piece of wood or a cloth underneath the chuck to protect the
machine. Remove the three bolts holding the chuck in place by

- 12 -
removing their nuts and subsequently removing the chuck. Tapping the
chuck with a soft mallet might be required. To place a new chuck onto
the spindle, follow the above steps in reverse order.
Jaw Replacement: Place the chuck key into the chuck hole and rotate
anti-clockwise until the jaws are at their maximum open distance. The
jaws can now be manually pulled out. To place new jaws into the chuck,
choose the #1 jaw and place it into the desired chuck slot. Ensure that
the top groove of that slot is not visible when inserting the jaw. Once
the jaw is seated into the slot, rotate the chuck clockwise to drag down
and secure the jaw. Repeat this with jaws #2 and #3.
Tailstock Adjustment: To adjust the placement of the tailstock rest,
loosen the nut on its base, change its position, and retighten the nut.
Offset the tailstock in order to cut bevels or tapers.
Tailstock Locking: Turn the clamping lever clockwise to lock the
tailstock in place, or anti-clockwise to unlock.
Tool Post Adjustment: To adjust the tool post, simply loosen both bolts
holding it in place, move it to the desired position, and retighten the
bolts. Loosen the bolts on top of the tool post to replace work cutters.
Carriage Adjustment: Rotate the carriage handwheel clockwise to
move the carriage towards the tailstock. Rotate the handwheel
anti-clockwise to move the carriage towards the chuck.
Carriage Locking: Turn the toolpost control handle clockwise to tighten
and anti-clockwise to loosen. This handle must be loosened before
automatic feeds are used.
Cross Slide Adjustment: Turning the cross slide handwheel will slide
the tool post perpendicular to the ways. Turn the handwheel clockwise
to move it back, and anti-clockwise to move forward.
Carriage Feed Control: Move the half nut lever down to engage the
half nut and move the carriage under power. Make sure to disengage
the half nut before making any adjustments to avoid unexpected
carriage movement.
Compound Control: Turn the compound control wheel anti-clockwise
to move the compound outwards and clockwise to move it inwards,
changing the cutting angle.

- 13 -
Quill Locking: Rotate the lever clockwise to lock the spindle and
anti-clockwise to unlock.
Tail Feed Adjustment: Rotate the tail feed handwheel clockwise to
advance the tailstock towards the chuck. Rotate the handwheel
anti-clockwise to move the tailstock away from the chuck
OPERATION
1. Emergency Button: 0N/0FF Switch
2. The machine is switched on and off with ON/OFF button. Depress to stop all
machine functions. To restart, lift the cover and press ON button.
3. Change-over Switch
After the machine is switched on, turn the switch to "F" position for
counter-clockwise spindle rotation(forward). Turn the switch to"R" position for
clockwise spindle rotation(reverse) ."O"position is OFF and the spindle remains
idle.
4. Variable Speed Control Switch
Turn the switch clockwise to increase the spindle speed. Turn the switch
counter-clockwise to decrease the spindle speed. The possible speed range is
dependent on the position of the drive belt.

8. Half Nut Engage Lever
Move the lever down to engage. Move the lever up to disengage.
9. Compound Rest Traverse Lever
Rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise to move or position.
10. Tool Post Clamping Lever

OPERATION
Replacement of Chuck
The head spindle holding fixture is cylindrical. Loose three set screws and
nuts (A, Fig. 13 only two are shown)on the la the chuck flange to remove
the chuck. Position the new chuck and fix it using the same set screws and
nuts.
Fig. 13
TOOL SET UP
Clamp the turning tool into the tool holder.
The tool must be clamped firmly. When turning, the tool has a tendency to
bend under the cutting force generated during the chip formation.
For best results, tool overhang should be kept to a minimum of 3/8" or less.
The cutting angle is correct when the cutting edge is in line with the center
axis of the workpiece. The correct height of the tool can be achieved by
comparing the tool point with the point of the center-mounted in the
tailstock. If necessary, use steel spacer shims under the tool to get the
required height. (Fig. 14)

- 17 -
Longitudinal Turning with
Auto Feed:
Use the table(A,Fig.18) on the
lathe for selecting the feed speed
or the thread pitch. Adjust the
change gear if there quired feed
or thread pitch that can not be
obtained with the installed gear
set.
Workpiece Holding and
Drilling: Use the chuck to
hold a workpiece firmly in
place. Use the tailstock to
press a drill into the rotating
workpiece.
Face Cutting: Use the chuck
to hold a workpiece firmly in
place. Use the tool post to
press a cutter into the face of
the workpiece. The edge of
the cutter must be the same
height as the centre.
Internal Cutting: Use the
chuck to hold a workpiece
firmly in place. Rotate the tool
post such that the cutter is
placed in the middle of the
front face of the workpiece.
Bevel Cutting: Use the chuck to hold a workpiece firmly in place.
Adjust the angle of the tool post to cut bevels into the workpiece.
Thread Cutting: To cut threads, use the chuck to hold a workpiece
firmly in place and engage the half nut. Use the tool post to press a
cutter into the face of the workpiece.
