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!
