OPERATION

1. Ensure the cutting tool, tool rests and tailstock are securely locked in

position before starting work.

2. Always rotate the workpiece by hand and check it does not strike the

tool/tool rest before switching on the motor.

3. To turn the lathe ON, press the green push-button. Press the red button to

stop.

4. Avoid turning timber which has

splits or substantial knots or

voids and take special care if

these are discovered.

5. Always use the lowest speed

when starting a new

workpiece.

6. When turning, always roughly

turn the work to a cylinder at

low speed.

7. Take care that the turning tools

do not bite suddenly into the

workpiece.

8. Always position the toolrest just above the centreline of the lathe.

SPEED CONTROL
