Load factor
The load factor “S2 30 min” (short-time operation) indicates this motor with a rated power of 400 W may
only be continuously used for the time specified on the data plate (30 min). Otherwise, it will heat up
excessively. During the pause, the motor will cool down again to its initial temperature.
Noise and vibrations
Danger! The noise and vibration values were determined in accordance with EN 61029.
Sound pressure level LpA (dB (A))
61
Uncertainty KpA (dB)
3
Sound power lever LWA (dB (A))
74
Uncertainty KWA (dB)
3
The stated values are emission values and therefore do not have to represent safe workplace values at
the same time. Although there is a correlation between emission and emission levels, it cannot be reli-
ably determined whether additional precautions are necessary or not. Factors that can influence the
current emission level at the workplace include the duration of the working process, the nature of the
workspace, other sources of noise, etc., e.g., the number of machines and other near-by processes.
Reliable workplace values can also vary from country to country. However, this information should en-
able the user to make a better evaluation of hazard and risk.
Wear hearing protection. Noise exposure can cause hearing loss.
Keep noise and vibration to a minimum!
•Only use faultless equipment.
•Regularly service and clean the unit.
•Adapt your mode of operation to the device.
•Do not overload the device.
•Have the device checked if necessary.
•Switch the device off when it is not in use.

Residual risks
Even if this power tool is operated correctly, there are always remaining risks. The following haz-
ards may occur in connection with the construction and design of this power tool:
•Lung damage if you do not wear a suitable dust mask.
•Hearing damage if you do not wear a suitable hearing protection.
•Damage to health resulting from hand-arm vibrations if the device is used for a long period of
time or is not properly operated and maintained.
Before starting the device
Before connecting the device, make sure that the data on the nameplate corresponds to the network
data. Warning! Always disconnect the mains plug before making any adjustments to the unit.
•The lathe must be securely set up, i.e., it should be bolted to a workbench or other fixed under-
frame.
•Before commissioning, all covers and safety devices must be properly installed.
•Before connecting, make sure that the data on the nameplate corresponds to the mains data of
your power supply system.
•Before you exchange tools on the machine (face driver/face plate) or adjust the speed, the
mains plug must always be disconnected in order to prevent unintentional switching on, e.g., by
other people.
•Transport the machine by lifting it to the machine bed. Observe the weight of the machine (see
“Technical data”) and, if necessary, call in another person for help.
Assembly
1. Screw the second half of the machine bed to the main frame. Use the screw, two washers, the
spring washer and the nut at each of the three bolting points.
2. Place the tool support on the machine bed. Screw it together with the screw, plate, washer and
the clamping lever. If the tool support is in a position where the clamping lever is too long, the
clamping lever can alternatively be replaced by the wing nut.
3. Screw the locking handle into the workpiece support.
4. Place the counter bracket on the machine bed. Screw it together with the screw, plate, washer
and the tension lever. If the counter bracket is in the position where the clamping lever is too
long, the clamping lever can alternatively be replaced by the wing nut.
5. Push the handwheel onto the counter bracket spindle. Make sure that the side of the handwheel
with the grub screw is guided over the flattened part of the counter bracket spindle. Tighten the
grub screw with the supplied Allen key and screw the crank handle with the washer to the hand-
wheel.
6. Mount the machine to a suitable surface (e.g., workbench or similar). The lathe can be mounted
in several places. Use suitable fixing material, e.g., carriage bolts for fixing to a metal base
frame. The fixing material is not included in the content of delivery and is available from special-
ist dealers.
Adjusting the counter bracket
•The counter bracket is adjusted after loosening the clamping lever located below the machine
bed or the wing nut.
•After setting the optimum clamping pressure using the handwheel, the counter bracket spindle
must be secured with the lock nut.
Adjusting the tool rest
•The height of the tool rest can be adjusted after releasing the locking handle.

http://www.aoyue.eu 11 2021-1
http://www.teichtip.de
•The adjustment of the tool support in longitudinal direction is possible after loosening the clamp-
ing lever or the wing nut below the machine bed.
•The tool rest must be brought as close as possible to the workpiece without touching it.
Warning! Make sure that the workpiece support is firmly tightened and cannot rotate into the workpiece.
Adjusting the speed
1. Remove the mains plug.
2. Loosen locking screw, open housing cover and loosen motor clamping screws. Lift the motor V-
belt to release the tension of the V-belt.
3. Fold the V-belt to the desired speed level (pay attention to the alignment!).
4. The belt tension is achieved by lowering the motor, the dead weight of the motor is sufficient.
5. Retighten the motor clamping screw after the speed adjustment, close housing cover and fix
with locking screw.
6. A table with the corresponding speeds can be found on the inside of the housing cover.
Choosing the correct speed
•For new turning pieces, always start with the lowest possible speed and increase it with de-
creasing unbalance of the turning piece.
•Preselect the speed according to the cutting speed table, for non-circular workpieces start with
zero speed.
•The choice of the correct speed depends on several factors when turning (e.g., size, balance,
material, etc. of the workpiece).
•Thumb rule: non-circular workpieces, large workpieces, hard woods = low speed.
Conversion from face driver to face plate
1. Place the wrench onto the wrench surface, which is on the spindle directly behind the face
driver.
2. Using another wrench, loosen the face driver counter-clockwise while holding the other wrench.
3. Now turn the face plate onto the thread of the spindle and tighten it with the wrench on the
spindle.
Face driver and accompanying grain tip
•The face driver transmits the motor power to the workpiece when turning between the tips.
•When working between the face driver and the centring point, make sure that the centring hole
is drilled sufficiently deep. The centring drill diameter should be 5–8 mm. Do not select a clamp-
ing pressure that is too high. Workpieces can become curved and break due to excessive clamp-
ing pressure.
•In order to avoid thread or bearing damage, the face driver must be driven with a rubber or wood
hammer on the face of the workpiece.
•The accompanying centring point prevents the centring hole to be drilled in the workpiece from
burning out.
Operation
Important notes on operation:
•When selecting your woodturning wood, please look for knots and dry cracks. Only use wood
without cracks and without larger knots (for small knots, carefully select the contact pressure of
the turning iron).
•Always check by hand that the wood to be turned is firmly placed.
Warning: Pull the mains plug!

http://www.teichtip.de
•Only use original turning irons sharpened.
•When turning wooden discs, do not stand in the flight circle of the workpiece.
•Please use a band saw or scroll saw to cut large and unbalanced woodturning stock in the best
possible way. Large unbalance of the turning material endangers your health and the service
life of the machine.
•For new woodturning pieces, always start with the lowest possible speed and increase it with
increasing improvement of the turning force.
•Do not use wooden discs with shrinkage cracks, as there is a high risk of bursting due to cen-
trifugal force.
•Observe the maximum workpiece sizes (see “Technical data”).
•In case of blocked tools: pull out the mains plug before troubleshooting!
•Clamp workpieces between the face driver or face plate and the centring point. First tighten the
counter bracket with the clamping lever or the wing nut. Then clamp the workpiece by turning
the crank handle on the hand wheel.
•For turning, position yourself at the machine so that the cutting tools can be easily guided on
the tool support.
On/off switch
•The lathe is switched on by pressing the green “I” button.
•To switch the lathe off, press the red button “O.”
Cable change
Danger! If the power cord of this unit is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified
technician to avoid hazards. The lathe must not be put back into operation until it has been repaired.
Cleaning, maintenance and spare part supply
Danger! Disconnect the mains plug before carrying out any cleaning work!
Cleaning
•Keep guards, air vents and the motor housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Clean the
unit with a clean cloth or blow it out with compressed air at low pressure.
•We recommend that you clean the unit immediately after each use.
•Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and some mild detergent. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents as they may attack the plastic parts of the unit. Make sure that no water can
get inside the unit. Penetration of water into an electrical appliance increases the risk of electric
shock.
Motor starting problems
Excessive clamping pressure in conjunction with excessive belt tension can lead to motor start-up prob-
lems, especially at high speeds.
Possible solutions:
•Loosen belt tension.
•Reduce the clamping pressure on the counter bracket hand wheel.
•Only set high speeds for final and fine treatment of the workpieces.
Maintenance
There are no other parts to be serviced inside the unit.
