Operation

Switch (Fig 9)
The lathe is fitted with a no-volt switch. In the event
of a power supply failure the wood lathe need to be
manually re-started by pushing the "I" button on the
switch.
Speed control (Fig 10)
1. The lathe motor must be running before you can
use the speed control lever.
2. The speed control lever can be turned to one of
ten fixed speeds. To set the speed, pull back on the
lever handle [1] and rotate the handle to the next
fixed speed. Use the index plate [2] to choose right
lathe speed.
3. Turn the lever clockwise to increase the speed
and turn counterclockwise to decrease the speed.
4. You must move the speed control lever to the
lowest speed setting before turning the switch off
(Fig 11), otherwise the motor may not start or be
damaged.

Maintenance

WARNING! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PUSH THE BUTTON "O" ON THE SWITCH AND
REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE PERFORMING
MAINTENANCE OR LUBRICATION WORK ON THE LATHE.
1. Blow out dust accumulation inside the motor, housing, and bed assembly frequently.
2. A coat of automotive wax applied to the bed will help keep the surface clean and keep the
movement of the tool rest and tailstock smooth.
3. Periodic lubrication of the spring levers and other threaded parts will make these parts easier
to operate.
