Technical data

Load factor
The load factor “S2 30 min” (short-time operation) indicates this motor with a rated power of 400 W may only be continuously used for the time specified on the data plate (30 min). Otherwise, it will heat up excessively. During the pause, the motor will cool down again to its initial temperature.

Noise and vibrations
Danger! The noise and vibration values were determined in accordance with EN 61029.

The stated values are emission values and therefore do not must represent safe workplace values at the same time. Although there is a correlation between emission and emission levels, it cannot be reli-ably determined whether additional precautions are necessary or not. Factors that can influence the current emission level at the workplace include the duration of the working process, the nature of the workspace, other sources of noise, etc., e.g., the number of machines and other near-by processes. Reliable workplace values can also vary from country to country. However, this information should en-able the user to make a better evaluation of hazard and risk.

Wear hearing protection. Noise exposure can cause hearing loss.

Keep noise and vibration to a minimum!

• Only use faultless equipment.
• Regularly service and clean the unit.
• Adapt your mode of operation to the device.
• Do not overload the device.
• Have the device checked if necessary.
• Switch the device off when it is not in use.

Residual risks
Even if this power tool is operated correctly, there are always remaining risks. The following haz-ards may occur in connection with the construction and design of this power tool:

• Lung damage if you do not wear a suitable dust mask.
• Hearing damage if you do not wear a suitable hearing protection.
• Damage to health resulting from hand-arm vibrations if the device is used for a long period of time or is not properly operated and maintained.

Before starting the device
Before connecting the device, make sure that the data on the nameplate corresponds to the network data. Warning! Always disconnect the mains plug before making any adjustments to the unit.

• The lathe must be securely set up, i.e., it should be bolted to a workbench or other fixed under-frame.
• Before commissioning, all covers and safety devices must be properly installed.
• Before connecting, make sure that the data on the nameplate corresponds to the mains data of your power supply system.
• Before you exchange tools on the machine (face driver/face plate) or adjust the speed, the mains plug must always be disconnected in order to prevent unintentional switching on, e.g., by other people.
• Transport the machine by lifting it to the machine bed. Observe the weight of the machine (see “Technical data”) and, if necessary, call in another person for help.

Assembly

1. Screw the second half of the machine bed to the main frame. Use the screw, two washers, the spring washer, and the nut at each of the three bolting points.
2. Place the tool support on the machine bed. Screw it together with the screw, plate, washer, and the clamping lever. If the tool support is in a position where the clamping lever is too long, the clamping lever can alternatively be replaced by the wing nut.
3. Screw the locking handle into the workpiece support.
4. Place the counter bracket on the machine bed. Screw it together with the screw, plate, washer, and the tension lever. If the counter bracket is in the position where the clamping lever is too long, the clamping lever can alternatively be replaced by the wing nut.
5. Push the handwheel onto the counter bracket spindle. Make sure that the side of the handwheel with the grub screw is guided over the flattened part of the counter bracket spindle. Tighten the grub screw with the supplied Allen key and screw the crank handle with the washer to the hand-wheel.
6. Mount the machine to a suitable surface (e.g., workbench or similar). The lathe can be mounted in several places. Use suitable fixing material, e.g., carriage bolts for fixing to a metal base frame. The fixing material is not included in the content of delivery and is available from specialist dealers.

Adjusting the counter bracket

• The counter bracket is adjusted after loosening the clamping lever located below the machine bed or the wing nut.
• After setting the optimum clamping pressure using the handwheel, the counter bracket spindle must be secured with the lock nut.

Adjusting the tool rest

• The height of the tool rest can be adjusted after releasing the locking handle.
• The adjustment of the tool support in longitudinal direction is possible after loosening the clamp-ing lever or the wing nut below the machine bed.
• The tool rest must be brought as close as possible to the workpiece without touching it.

Warning! Make sure that the workpiece support is firmly tightened and cannot rotate into the workpiece.

Adjusting the speed

1. Remove the mains plug.
2. Loosen locking screw, open housing cover, and loosen motor clamping screws. Lift the motor V- belt to release the tension of the V-belt.
3. Fold the V-belt to the desired speed level (pay attention to the alignment!).
4. The belt tension is achieved by lowering the motor, the dead weight of the motor is sufficient.
5. Retighten the motor clamping screw after the speed adjustment, close housing cover and fix with locking screw.
6. A table with the corresponding speeds can be found on the inside of the housing cover.

Choosing the correct speed

• For new turning pieces, always start with the lowest possible speed and increase it with de-creasing unbalance of the turning piece.
• Preselect the speed according to the cutting speed table, for non-circular workpieces start with zero speed.
• The choice of the correct speed depends on several factors when turning (e.g., size, balance, material, etc. of the workpiece).
• Thumb rule: non-circular workpieces, large workpieces, hard woods = low speed.

Conversion from face driver to face plate

1. Place the wrench onto the wrench surface, which is on the spindle directly behind the face driver.
2. Using another wrench, loosen the face driver counter-clockwise while holding the other
3. Now turn the face plate onto the thread of the spindle and tighten it with the wrench on the spindle.

Face driver and accompanying grain tip

• The face driver transmits the motor power to the workpiece when turning between the
• When working between the face driver and the centring point, make sure that the centring hole is drilled sufficiently The centring drill diameter should be 5–8 mm. Do not select a clamp- ing pressure that is too high. Workpieces can become curved and break due to excessive clamp- ing pressure.
• To avoid thread or bearing damage, the face driver must be driven with a rubber or wood ham- mer on the face of the
• The accompanying centring point prevents the centring hole to be drilled in the workpiece from burning

Operation

Important notes on operation:

• When selecting your woodturning wood, please look for knots and dry cracks. Only use wood without cracks and without larger knots (for small knots, carefully select the contact pressure of the turning iron).
• Always check by hand that the wood to be turned is firmly

Warning: Pull the mains plug!

• Only use original turning irons
• When turning wooden discs, do not stand in the flight circle of the
• Please use a band saw or scroll saw to cut large and unbalanced woodturning stock in the best possible way. Large unbalance of the turning material endangers your health and the service life of the machine.
• For new woodturning pieces, always start with the lowest possible speed and increase it with increasing improvement of the turning
• Do not use wooden discs with shrinkage cracks, as there is a high risk of bursting due to cen- trifugal
• Observe the maximum workpiece sizes (see “Technical data”).
• In case of blocked tools: pull out the mains plug before troubleshooting!
• Clamp workpieces between the face driver or face plate and the centring First tighten the counter bracket with the clamping lever or the wing nut. Then clamp the workpiece by turning the crank handle on the hand wheel.
• For turning, position yourself at the machine so that the cutting tools can be easily guided on the tool

On/off switch

• The lathe is switched on by pressing the green “I”
• To switch the lathe off, press the red button “O.”

Cable change
Danger! If the power cord of this unit is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified technician to avoid hazards. The lathe must not be put back into operation until it has been repaired.
