General Instructions for 230V Machines

Specific Safety Instructions for Woodturning Lathes
1. Do not use ‘split’ work pieces.
2. Always start at the lowest speed when starting a
new task.
3. Try to render a new work piece“round”(or as close
as is practical) before turning.
4. Check that the tool rest is at or slightly below the
centre line of the work piece.
5. Check the work piece is securely mounted in the
lathe before switching on the power.
6. Rotate the work piece by hand, to check that it
is:- centralised, clear of the tool rest, not ‘split’ or has
loose knots.
7. Where lathes have the facility to be reversed; check
the machine is rotating in the correct direction.
The following will enable you to observe good
working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers
safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good
working order.
Mains Powered Tools
• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensuree that neither
are damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably
qualified person.
• Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
Workplace
• Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere
within a site area that is flooded.
• Keep machine clean.
• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to
commence.
• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and
not the cable.
• Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool
is securely tightened in the machine and the correct
speed and function set.
• Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc.
• Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc.Wear ear defenders at all times.
• If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to
prevent it being caught up in the rotating parts of
the machine.
• Consideration should be given to the removal of
rings and wristwatches.
• Consideration should also be given to non-slip
footwear etc.
• If another person is to use the machine, ensure they
are suitably qualified to use it.
• Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted
• Do not use this machine within the designated
safety areas
of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there
may be volatile gases.
• Check cutters are correct type and size, are
undamaged
and are kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their
operating performance and lessen the loading on
the machine.
•
OBSERVE….
make sure you know what is happening
around you and
USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE
REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
KEEP THE WORK AREA AS
UNCLUTTERED AS IS
PRACTICAL,THIS INCLUDES
PERSONNEL AS WELL AS
MATERIAL. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN
WORK AREAS.
8. If your lathe has the facility to run in reverse, you
must ensure that the mounting accessories (chucks,
faceplates etc.,) can be ‘locked’ onto the lathe
mandrel, and in the case of chucks have some form
of security device to prevent them ‘unwinding’during
reverse operation.
9. Make sure your tools are stored/racked away from
the turning area of the lathe. Do not reach over a
rotating work piece at any time.
10. Do not ‘dig in’ or try to take too large a cut.
11. Do not leave the lathe running unattended; or
leave the machine until everything is stopped.
12. If you are turning between centres with ‘softish
stuff’, check and reposition the tailstock centre
frequently.

Assembly
Please take some time to read the section entitled
“Illustration & Parts Description”to identify the
various parts of your machine so that you are familiar
with the terminology we will use to enable you
to set up and operate your table lathe safely and
correctly.
The machine and its accessories will arrive coated
with corrosion preventative grease.This will need to
be cleaned from the machine, its components and
accessories prior to it being set up. Use coal oil,
paraffin or a proprietary de greaser to remove the
barrier grease.
Be warned, it will stain if you splash it on clothing etc.,
wear overalls, coverall et al., rubber gloves are also a
good idea, as is eye protection if your cleaning
process tends to be a little bit enthusiastic.
After cleaning, lightly coat the machine with a thin
layer of light machine oil. N.B If you used paraffin/
kerosene make sure you apply this thin film sooner
rather than later.
95% of the machine comes fully assembled, all that
remains is to fit the four prong drive centre (F) the
60˚ live centre (G) and the tool holder (I).

The indexing lock is know supplied separately in
the accessory pack and not fitted to the lathe. We
recommend to fit the index lock only if you plan to
use the index facility in the future.
NOTE: DO NOT USE THE INDEX LOCK AS A SPINDLE
LOCK AS YOU WILL DAMAGE LOCKING PIN.
Please see figures A-B-C-D for fitting instructions for
the indexing lock.
Locate the four prong drive centre (F) and slide
it through the centre of the faceplate into the
