Page 6: Safety Instructions For Wood Turning Lathe
1.3 Safety instructions for wood turning lathe Serious injury or death can occur from getting entangled in, crushed between, or struck by rotating parts on a lathe! Rotating workpieces can come loose and strike operator or bystanders with deadly force if they are improperly secured, rotated too fast, or are not strong enough for the rotational forces required for turning. -
Page 7: Safety Devices
Commonly caused by poor workpiece selection/preparation, improper tool usage, or improper machine setup or tool rest adjustment. Use correct tool. Take light cuts, use low speeds, and firmly support SAFELY PERFORM tool with both hands. ROUGHING Sharp tools cut with less resistance than dull tools. Using dull tools USE SHARP TOOLS increases the risk of tool kickback or grabbing Always allow rotating workpiece to stop on its own. -

Page 14: Tailstock Adjustment
3.7.4 Tailstock adjustment Loosen the tailstock locking lever and slide the tailstock along the lathe bed into the desired position. Retighten the locking lever. Loosen the quill locking handle just enough to unlock the tailstock quill. Turn the handwheel clockwise to advance the quill and counterclockwise to retract the quill. - Page 15 FOR MC1421VDA MC1421VDB FOR MC1421VF Always start at slower speeds for rough cuts and larger workpieces. Use faster speeds for refined cuts and detailed work. Set the suitable speed range for your operation by adjusting the belt position. Change the speed within a speed range using the speed adjustment knob.

5. Maintenance This chapter contains important information about ▲ Inspection ▲ Maintenance ATTENTION! Properly performed regular maintenance is an essential prerequisite for operational safety, failure-free operation, a long service life of the wood lathe and the quality of the products which you manufacture. Installations and equipment from other manufacturers must also be in good condition. -
Page 23: Tensioning And Replacing Belt
5.4 Tensioning and replacing belt Most of the stretching will occur during the first 16 hours, but may continue with further use. If the lathe loses power while making a cut, the belt may be slipping and need tensioning. If the belt shows signs of excessive wear, or damage, replace it. - Page 24 To replace motor brushes: 1. Disconnect machine from power! 2. Use dime to unscrew and remove brush caps on front and rear of motor. 4. Use a ruler to measure wear of each carbon brush. If either brush is worn to less than 1/4" in length, replace both brushes.
