Switch on the Power Switch (46) to prevent unauthorized use. To turn the Lathe on, plug the Power Cord (45) into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet. Insert the Safety Switch into the 2. Power Switch (46). Move the Power Switch to the “ON” position. To turn the Lathe off, move the Power Switch to the “OFF” position. To lock the Power Switch in the “OFF” position, remove the Safety Switch and store it in a safe location. (See Figure O.) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS With the Power Switch (46) in its 1. “OFF” position and the Lathe unplugged from its electrical outlet, make all necessary adjustments to the machine as previously discussed. To set up a spindle turning opera2. tion, mark both ends of the workpiece by drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The intersection point of these two lines will indicate the center of the workpiece. (See Figure O.) Use a wood mallet and punch to tap 3. the point of the center of the workpiece so that it leaves a center mark. (See Figure O.) Use a 1/8” drill bit to drill a 3/16” deep 4. hole at the center mark on the workpiece. (See Figure O.) FIGURE OPENCIL LINESMARKED DIAGONALLYACROSS CORNERSWORKPIECE 5. Cut the corners off the workpiece if it is over 2” x 2” to make turning safer and easier. (See Figure P.) FIGURE O FIGURE P POWER SWITCH (46) Use a wood mallet to drive the Head6. stock Spur Center (12) into the center of the workpiece at least 1/4” deep. (See Figure Q.) FIGURE Q1/4” WORKPIECEHEADSTOCKSPURCENTER(12) 7. With the workpiece still attached, insert the Headstock Spur Center (12) into the Headstock Spindle (14). (See Figure R.) With the Cup Center (11) installed in 8. the Tailstock (5), slide the Tailstock toward the workpiece until the Cup Center touches the workpiece center point. The lock the Tailstock in position. (See Figure R.) Use the Tailstock Handwheel (4) to 9. push the Cup Center (11) into the workpiece at least 1/4”. (See Figure R.) Position the Tool Rest (35) approxi10. mately 1/4” away from the workpiece and approximately 1/8” above the center line. (See Figure R.) Make sure to test the set up by hand 11. turning the workpiece to ensure there is enough clearance all the way around before starting. Do not press the workpiece too firmly with the Tailstock (5) or the bearings will bind and overheat. Also, do not leave the workpiece too loose or the workpiece will spin off the Lathe.

FIGURE TUSE ONLYNON-TAPEREDWOOD SCREWSDO NOT USETAPERED HEADSCREWS 16. NOTE: Faceplate turning is typically done with open-faced workpieces like bowls. If screws cannot be placed in the workpiece, then a backing block can be glued to the workpiece and attached to the Faceplate (13) with screws. (See Figure U.) To mount the workpiece to a backing 17. block, make the backing block from a piece of scrap wood that is flat on both sides. (See Figure U.) Mark the center of the backing block. 18. (See Figure U.) Drill a 14” diameter hole through the 19. center of the backing block. (See Figure U.) Glue the center of the backing block 20. to the center of the workpiece. Clamp the backing block to the workpiece, and wait for the glue to dry according to the glue manufacturer’s recommendation. (See Figure U.) FIGURE UBACKINGBLOCK 21.

After turning, the workpiece can be sanded and finished before removing it from the Lathe.
