Conversion from face driver to face plate
Place with the wrench on the wrench surface on the spindle directly behind the face driver.
Using another wrench, loosen the face driver counterclockwise while holding the other wrench.
Now turn the face plate onto the thread of the spindle and tighten it with the wrench on the spin -
dle.
Face driver and accompanying grain tip
The face driver is used to transmit the engine power to the workpiece when turning between the
tips.
When working between the face driver and the centering point, make sure that the centering hole
is drilled sufficiently deep. The centering 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 in with a rubber or
wood hammer on the face of the workpiece.
The accompanying centering point prevents the centering 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 seated.
Warning: Pull the mains plug!
Only use original turning irons in sharpened condition.
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 in -
creasing improvement of the turning force.
Do not use wooden discs with shrinkage cracks, as there is a high risk of bursting due to centrifu -
gal force.
Observe the maximum workpiece sizes (see technical data).
In case of blocked tools: pull out the mains plug before troubleshooting!
