9.1 Speed adjustment

Change the speed only when the motor is running!

the setting lever clicks into place again after adjustment.
The speed depends on the following factors:

- Dimensions, such as diameter and length of the
workpiece

- Dry or seasoned woods
- Lathing tools
- Lathe technology
Select a low speed for:

Mounting the face plate
Screw the face plate hand-tight onto the main spindle. In-
sert the rod (Pos.1, Fig. 10) into the compatible hole in
the faceplate and hold the main spindle in place using
the open-end wrench (Pos. 2, Fig. 10). Tighten the face
plate firmly to avoid loosening during operation.
Replacement of the face driver
Insert the face drivers manually into the main spindle. To
loosen it again, insert the rod (Pos.1, Fig. 9) at the back
of the main spindle and carefully knock out the face
driver. Hold it firmly to prevent it from falling down and
getting damaged.
Use the face driver only for work "between lace".

Release the clamping lever for the spindle clamping
(Pos. 1, Fig. 11). Turn the spindle on the handwheel (
Pos. 2, Fig. 11) completely backwards to remove the tail-
stock centre (Pos. 3, Fig. 11).

9.3 Adjustment of the spindle head

Release the spindle head clamp and pull the locking bolt.
Swivel the spindle head to the desired angle. The pos-
sible locking positions are 60°, 90°, 120° and 180°. As
soon as the spindle head is in the correct position, it
must be clamped again.
ATTENTION!
Do not turn the spindle head more than 180° clock-
wise. Damage to the power cable may result.
