GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR 230V MACHINES
4
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.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT
OF REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
Mains Powered Tools
• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensure 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 wrist watches.
• 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.
KEEP WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED
AS IS PRACTICAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK
AREAS.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOOD TURNING LATHES
1. Do not use ‘split’ work pieces.
2. Always start at the lowest speed when starting a new
task.
3. Check that the tool rest is at or slightly below the
centre line of the work piece.
4. Check the work piece is securely mounted in the
lathe before switching on the power.
5. Rotate the work piece by hand, to check that it is
centralised, clear of the tool rest, not ‘split’ or has loose
knots.
6. Where lathes have the facility to be reversed; check
the machine is rotating in the correct direction.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Do not ‘dig in’ or try to take to large a cut.
10. Do not leave the lathe running unattended; or leave
the machine until everything has stopped.
11. Some turning tools may have specific sharpening
angles that have been determined by the manufac-
turers; when re-sharpening, adhere to these angles to
maximise the finish of your work.

ASSEMBLY
Important Notes
Please take some time to read the section entitled
‘Illustration and 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 lathe and its accessories will arrive coated with
corrosion preventative grease. This will need to be
cleaned from the lathe, its components and accesso-
ries prior to it being set up. Wearing overalls and rubber
gloves is advisable, as is eye protection. After cleaning,
lightly coat the machine with a thin layer of light wax.
WARNING: THE WOOD LATHE IS A HEAVY
MACHINE, IT IS ADVISABLE TO USE A LIFTING
DEVICE SUCH AS A HOIST, SCISSOR LIFT OR SEEK
HELP WHEN ASSEMBLING THE LATHE.
WARNING! WE RECOMMEND YOU REMOVE THE
HEADSTOCK, TOOL REST AND TAILSTOCK FROM
THE LATHE BED BEFORE LIFTING THE LATHE
ASSEMBLY OFF THE PALLET
UNPACK YOUR NEW LATHE AND RECYCLE THE
PACKAGING RESPONSIBLY. THE CARDBOARD
PACKAGING IS BIODEGRADABLE.
PLEASE NOTE: The Trade Lathe comes 90%
pre-assembled. In order to reduce the footprint of the
machine for packaging, several items are dismounted
from the machine and need to be re-affixed. Please
check all the boxes, packets etc. to make sure that all
the parts have been accounted for.
1. Remove the headstock and tailstock stop pins to the
ends of the lathe bed and place safely aside.
2. Carefully remove the headstock, tailstock and tool rest
banjo and place safely aside.
NOTE: When removing the headstock assembly, make
sure that the control box power cord is well clear of any
sharp objects.
3. Using a lifting device or seek help, lift the lathe bed
from the pallet onto a work bench in readiness to mount
the leg stands (B).
Stand Assembly
1. Locate the two lathe stands (B) and the four adjustable
feet (C). There should be three nuts on each foot, remove
one nut from the threaded feet. Screw on the threaded
feet into the pre-drilled holes to the base of the stands,
see fig 01. on next page.

2. With the feet attached replace the four nuts you
removed earlier.
3. Place the leg stands on their feet, locate the eight M10
cap head bolts, spring washer/washers.
4. Using a lifting device, or get assistance, lift the lathe
bed (A) up from the floor. Line up the eight machined
holes, four to each end of the lathe bed with the holes in
the leg stands (B) and secure in place with the eight M10
bolts, washers, see fig 02-03.

5. Lift the headstock back onto the lathe bed, line up the
mounting 'T' bracket beneath the headstock with the
machined slot in the centre of the lathe bed and slide the
head on. Locate the headstock locking bar/handle (J). To
the rear of the headstock there is a pivot bar which is part
of the locking mechanism, see fig 05. Slot the bar/handle
(J) through the machined hole in the pivot bar and rotate
anti-clockwise to lock the headstock in place,see fig 06.

Locate the lathe bed extension (M) and the four cap head
bolts and washers. NOTE: the lathe bed can be mounted
in two positions. The first to the end of the lathe bed and
second mounted to the left leg stand (B) using the four
pre-drilled holes in the casting.
1. Remove the tailstock stop pin, to the left side of the
lathe bed. Screw in the four M10 bolts into the four
pre-drilled holes to the end of the lathe bed, see fig 19-20.
Leaving a gap between the bed face and the bolt heads,
lower the key slots in the extension bed (M) down over
the bolts until firmly seated, see fig 21-22-23. NOTE: Don't
tighten at this stage.
