Standard Machinery Safety Instructions
For Your Own Safety,
Read Manual Before Operating Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the
safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by
themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention mea-
sures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!
SAFETY
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions

-8-
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20)
SAFETY
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel,or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back
or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to
avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss
of workpiece control.
HAZARDOUS
DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION.
Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this
noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS.
Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys,
wrenches, or any other tools on machine.
Always verify removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE.
Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leadsto serious
personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS.
Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS.
Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris—make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may
occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during
operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine
is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk
of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. A
machine that is improperly maintained could
malfunction, leading to serious personal injury
or death.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting
cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the

SAFETY
Additional Safety for Metal Lathes
Serious injury or death can occur from getting entangled in, crushed between, or struck by rotating
parts on a lathe! Unsecured tools or workpieces that fly loose from rotating objects can also strike
nearby operators with deadly force. To minimize the risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone operating
this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
SECURE WORKPIECE.
An improperly secured work-
piece can fly off spindle with deadly force. Make
sure workpiece is properly secured before start-
ing the lathe.
CHUCKS. Chucks can be heavy and difficult to
hold. During installation and removal, protect
your hands and precision bed ways by using a
chuck cradle or piece of plywood over the bed
ways. Use lifting equipment, as necessary, for
large chucks.
STOPPING SPINDLE. Always allow spindle to com-
pletely stop on its own, or use a brake, if pro-
vided. Never put hands or another object on a
spinning workpiece to make it stop faster.
CRASHING. A serious explosion of metal parts
can occur if cutting tool or other lathe compo-
nent hits rotating chuck or a projecting part of
workpiece. Resulting metal fragments can strike
nearby people and lathe will be seriously dam-
aged. To reduce risk of crashing, ALWAYS release
automatic feeds after use, NEVER leave lathe
unattended, and CHECK all clearances before
starting lathe.
COOLANT SAFETY.
Coolant can become very toxic
through prolonged use and aging. To minimize
toxicity, change coolant regularly. When using,
position nozzle properly to avoid splashing oper-
ator or causing a slipping hazard on floor.
TOOL SELECTION. Cutting with incorrect or dull
tooling increases risk of injury from broken or
dislodged components, or as a result of extra
force required for operation. Always use sharp
tooling that is right for the job.
SANDING/POLISHING. To reduce risk of entangle-
ment, never wrap emery cloth around rotating
workpiece. Instead, use emery cloth with the aid
of a tool or backing board.
MEASURING WORKPIECE. To reduce risk of entan-
glement, never measure rotating workpieces.
CLOTHING JEWELRY & LONG HAIR.
Tie back long
hair, remove jewelry, and do not wear loose
clothing or gloves. These can easily get caught
on rotating parts and pull you into lathe.
ROTATING PARTS.
Always keep hands and body at
a safe distance from rotating parts—especially
those with projecting surfaces. Never hold any-
thing against rotating workpiece, such as emery
cloth, that can pull you into lathe.
GUARDING.
Guards and covers protect against
entanglement or flying objects. Always ensure
they are properly installed while machine is
running.
ADJUSTMENT TOOLS.
Remove all chuck keys,
wrenches, and adjustment tools before turning
lathe ON. A tool left on the lathe can become a
deadly projectile when spindle is started.
SAFE CLEARANCES.
Before starting spindle, verify
workpiece has adequate clearance by hand-
rotating it through its entire range of motion.
NEW SETUPS.
Test each new setup by starting
spindle rotation at the lowest speed and standing
to the side of the lathe until workpiece reaches
full speed and you can verify safe rotation.
SPINDLE SPEEDS.
Using spindle speeds that are
too fast for the workpiece or clamping equip-
ment can cause rotating parts to come loose and
strike nearby people with deadly force. Always
use slow spindle speeds with large or non-con-
centric workpieces. Never exceed rated RPM of
the chuck.
LONG STOCK SAFETY.
Long stock can whip vio-
lently if not properly supported. Always support
any stock that extends from the chuck/head-
stock more than three times its own diameter.
CLEARING CHIPS.
Metal chips can be razor sharp.
Avoid clearing them by hand or with a rag. Use a
brush or vacuum instead.

ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICAL
Circuit Requirements
This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
Circuit Requirements for 220V
This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the
following requirements:
Circuit Type ...............220V/240V, 60 Hz, Single-Phase
Circuit Size ............................................. 15 Amps
Plug/Receptacle .................................... NEMA 6-15
Cord .................“S”-Type, 3-Wire, 14 AWG, 300 VAC
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 220V .................. 12 Amps
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power
source until instructed to do later in
this manual.
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this
machine can cause electrocution, fire,
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,
only an electrician or qualified service
personnel should do any required
electrical work on this machine.
NOTICE
The circuit requirements listed in this
manual apply to a dedicated circuit—
where only one machine will be running
at a time. If this machine will be
connected to a shared circuit where
multiple machines will be running at
the same time, consult a qualified
electrician to ensure that the circuit is
properly sized for safe operation.

-12-
Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20)
ELECTRICAL
Grounding Requirements
Extension Cords
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of
malfunctionsor breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current
to travel—in
order
to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire
will
increase
the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation
(with/without yellow stripes)is the equipment-
grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if
you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if
you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded.
If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.
For 220V Connection
We do not recommend using an extension cord with
this machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which
may damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords
and smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers indicate
smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire, match the required
plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:
Grounding Pin
Current Carrying Prongs
6-15 PLUG
GROUNDED
6-15 RECEPTACLE
220V
Figure 6.NEMA 6-15 plug & receptacle.
DO NOT modify the provided plug or use
an adapter if the plug will not fit your
receptacle. Instead, have a qualified
electrician install the proper receptacle
on a power supply circuit that meets the
requirements for this machine.
Minimum Gauge Size at 220V ...................... 14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.
The power cord and plug specified under "Circuit
Requirements for 220V" on the previous page has an
equipment-grounding wire and a grounding prong. The
plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances (see figure
to the right).

Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20)
SETUP
The Model M1112 lathe has been carefully crated. If
you notice the lathe has been damaged, contact your
authorized SHOP FOX®dealer immediately.
To lift and move the lathe, do these steps:
1. Wrap two lifting straps around the bedway pedestals
and route them behind the feed rod, control rod, and
the lead screw, as shown in Figure 9.
2. Move the apron toward the right to help balance the
load, as shown in Figure 9.
3. Position the chip pan on top of the base assembly so
that the six lathe mounting holes align with top holes
of the cabinets.
4. Un-bolt the lathe from the pallet.
5. Slowly raise the lathe from the pallet, and move it
over the cabinet base to your prepared location.
6. Position the lathe so that the six M12-1.75 x 40
hex bolts and flat washers can be inserted through
the chip pan and partially threaded, but not fully
tightened, into the mounting holes of the cabinets
(see Figure 10).
7. Shim between the lathe and cabinet base as required
to make the ways level at all four corner locations as
indicated with a machinist's level.
8. Fully tighten the six hex bolts to secure the lathe to
the cabinet base.
9. For best results, recheck the ways in 24 hours to
make sure the ways are still level and have not
twisted, and re-shim as required.
10. Install the backsplash with four M6-1 x 10 Phillips
head screws and flat washers.
Uncrating and Lifting
The Model M1112 weighs approximately
1400 lbs. You will need power lifting
equipment and assistance to remove
this machine from the crate and posi-
tion it. Inspect all lifting equipment
and make sure that all is in perfect
working order and is rated for the load
before attempting to lift and move this
lathe. Ignoring this warning may lead to
serious personal injury or death.
Figure 9.Lifting strap locations.
Figure 10.Lathe mounting hex bolts.
NOTICE
If a lathe is not level, the ways can twist out of
alignment, and cutting operations may be affected.
Make sure that your level is a high-quality machinist's
level, and that all measuring surfaces are perfectly
clean. Recheck the lathe ways in a few weeks to make
sure the floor has not settled. Re-shim as required.

Model M1112 (For Machines Mfd. Since 12/20)
SETUP
• Floor Load: Your lathe is a heavy load distributed
in a small footprint, so you must reinforce the floor
if required. The floor MUST be level, or the lathe
frame and ways may twist and distort over time.
• Working Clearances: Consider existing and antici-
pated needs, service panel access, length of rods
to be loaded into the lathe, and space for auxil-
iary stands, work tables or other machinery when
establishing a location for your lathe (see Figure 11
for dimensions).
• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to elimi-
nate shadow and prevent eye strain.
• Electrical: Outlets must be located near each
machine, so power cords are clear of high-traffic
areas.
Cleaning Machine
The ways and other unpainted parts of your lathe are
coated with a waxy grease that protects them from
corrosion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a
solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use
chlorine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner,
lacquer thinner, or acetone—if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
Machine Placement

MAKE your shop “child safe.”
Ensure that your workplace
is inaccessible to youngsters
by closing and locking all
entrances when you are
away. NEVER allow untrained
visitors in your shop when
assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment.
ALWAYS work in well-
ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to clean
machinery. Many solvents
are toxic when inhaled or
ingested. Use care when
disposing of waste rags
and towels to be sure
they DO NOT create fire
or environmental hazards.
NEVER use gasoline or
petroleum-based solvents
to clean your lathe.

SETUP
Although not required, we recommend that you mount
your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional
step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting
hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt
your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts.
Both options are described below. Whichever option you
choose it will be necessary to use a precision level to
level your machine.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Anchor studs, lag screw and anchor (Figure 12) are two
popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete
floor. We suggest you research the many options and
methods for mounting your machine and choose the one
that best fits your specific application.
Mounting to Shop Floor NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more
permanent alternatives to lag shield
anchors; however, they will stick out of
the floor, which may cause a tripping
hazard if you decide to move your
machine at a later point.

to concrete floors.

Before connecting the machine to
power, always make sure the reset
button on the control panel is pushed
in to avoid unexpected start-ups.

Power Connection
Before the machine can be connected to the power
source, an electrical circuit, power cord, plug, and
receptacle must be prepared per the ELECTRICAL section
in this manual, and all previous setup instructions in the
manual must be complete to ensure that the machine has
been assembled and installed properly.
To connect the power cord, do these steps:
1. Make sure the power cord is NOT connected to
power.
2. Open the electrical cabinet and identify the Land
N terminals, and the grounding plate (PE) at the
bottom left of the cabinet (see Figure 13).
3. Attach insulated crimp-on wire terminals to the
wires of the power cord.
4. Securely connect the incoming ground to the PE
terminal and the two incoming hot leads to the L
and N terminals.
5. Close and secure the electrical cabinet.

Test Run & Break-In
The purpose of the test run and break-in is to make sure
the lathe and safety features operate correctly, and
that the lathe can enter service quickly without bearing
damage if heavy work loads are immediately anticipated.
To begin the test run & break-in procedure, do these
steps:
1. Make sure the lathe is lubricated and the headstock
oil level is full. Refer to Lubrication on Page 39.
2. Make sure the chuck is correctly secured to the
spindle. Refer to Mounting Chuck and Faceplate on
Page 22 for details.
3. Disengage the half-nut lever and the feed lever
(Figure 14).
4. Connect power to the machine.
Make sure all power feed levers and dials are
disengaged before starting the lathe! Thoroughly
familiarize yourself with all the controls and their
functions before using any power feed!
NOTICE
NOTICE
NEVER shift lathe gears when lathe
is operating, and make sure both the
half-nut lever and the feed lever are
disengaged before you start the lathe!
Otherwise the lathe will feed the apron
into the chuck or tailstock causing
severe lathe damage.
