Safety SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Machine The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control. HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk. HEARING PROTECTION.
Additional Safety for Wood Lathes KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. Make sure all guards are in place and that the lathe sits on a flat, stable surface. EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Airborne wood dust and debris can be hazardous to the eyes/face and may cause allergies or long-term respiratory health problems. Always wear eye protection or a face shield when operating the lathe. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Always wear a respirator when using this machine. Wood dust may cause allergies or long-term respiratory health problems.
Circuit Requirements SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY Availability Circuit Requirements for 220V Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed.
Grounding Requirements This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire.
SECTION 3: SETUP Unpacking This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manual to become familiar with the controls and operations before starting the machine! This machine and its components are very heavy. Get lifting help or use power lifting equipment such as a forklift to move heavy items. Needed for Setup Your machine was carefully packaged for safe transportation. Remove the packaging materials from around your machine and inspect it.
Inventory Inventory The following is a list of items shipped with your machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items out and inventory them. B If any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer), we will gladly replace them; or for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store.

Clean Up Cleanup The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean. Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
Site Considerations Weight Load Physical Environment Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.
Mounting to Shop Floor Mounting to Shop Floor Although not required, we recommend that you bolt your new lathe to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, machine feet are included with your lathe. Generally, you can either bolt your machine to the floor or mount it on the included machine feet. Whichever option you choose, we recommend leveling your machine with a precision level. Assembly To assemble your lathe: 1.
3. Secure the lathe assembly to the supporting legs with the (8) M10-1.5 x 25 cap screws and 10mm flat washers (see Figure 12). 6. Figure 12. Securing lathe assembly to supporting legs. 4. If you are bolting your lathe to the floor, skip to Step 7. Otherwise, move the tailstock, tool rest assembly, and headstock to one end of the lathe bed (see the OPERATIONS section beginning on Page 21 for instructions for moving these components). 5.
Power Connection After you have completed all previous setup instructions and circuit requirements, the machine is ready to be connected to the power supply. Disconnecting Power 1. Turn the machine power switch OFF. 2. Grasp the molded plug and pull it completely out of the receptacle. Do not pull by the cord as this may damage the wires inside. To avoid unexpected startups or property damage, use the following steps whenever connecting or disconnecting the machine. Connecting Power 1.
Test Run 4. Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly and 2) the stop button safety feature works correctly. TWIST To Reset Switch... If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 39.
Operations SECTION 4: OPERATIONS Operation Overview To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this machine, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any operations. Damage to your eyes and lungs could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear a face shield and respirator when operating this machine.
8. Verifies the spindle direction switch is in the center neutral position and the spindle speed dial is turned all the way counterclockwise so the spindle does not start turning at high speed. 9. Ties back loose hair and clothing, and puts on face shield and respirator. Takes all other required safety precautions. 10.
Adjusting Tailstock To swivel the headstock: 1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE POWER SOURCE! 2. Loosen the headstock lock handle (see Figure 20). 3. Pull the swivel pin out and rotate the headstock to the desired position (see Figure 21). The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever is tightened, a locking plate lifts up underneath the bed and secures the tailstock in place. To position the tailstock along the length of the bed: 1.
Adjusting Tool Rest The tool rest base is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the tool rest base lock handle is tightened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool rest assembly to the bed. The tool rest can also be positioned and locked at a specific angle or height. To position the tool rest assembly along the length of the lathe bed: 1. Always operate the lathe with the tool rest assembly firmly locked in position.
Headstock Center Installing/Removing Headstock Center 5. Make sure the center is securely installed by attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly installed center will not pull easily. To remove the headstock center with the knockout tool: Make sure the headstock and tailstock centers are properly aligned before beginning any turning operation. See Aligning Centers on Page 41 for additional instructions on this procedure.
Tailstock Center Installing/Removing Tailstock Center The included live center installs into the tailstock quill with an MT#2 tapered fit. To install the center into the tailstock quill: 1. Loosen the quill lock handle and rotate the tailstock handwheel until the quill extends out about 1" (see Figure 27). Quill Keyway Quill Lock Handle Figure 28. Quill lock handle aligned with quill keyway. Quill Lock Handle 6. Secure the quill in place by re-tightening the quill lock handle.
Headstock Faceplate Headstock Faceplate To mount a workpiece to the faceplate, refer to Faceplate Turning on Page 35. 4. Using the included 4mm hex wrench, tighten the three set screws along the inside diameter of the faceplate to secure it to the spindle (see Figure 30). The faceplate can be installed only if the headstock center has been removed. To install the headstock faceplate: 1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE POWER SOURCE! 2.
Changing Speed Ranges Changing Speed Ranges The Model G0632 has two speed ranges: 1) the low range from 100 to 1200 RPM which provides a greater torque, and 2) the high range from 250 to 3200 RPM. To change speed ranges: 1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE POWER SOURCE! 2. Remove the front belt access panel (see Figure 32). Refer to the speed recommendations table (see Figure 31) to choose the appropriate RPM for your operation. Then choose the speed range that will include the selected RPM.
4. 5. Use the motor tensioning handle to lift the motor assembly all the way up and re-tighten the motor mount cap screw—this will hold the motor in place while you change the belt position. 6. Loosen the motor mount cap screw and lower the motor. 7. Apply downward pressure on the motor tensioning handle to properly tension the drive belt and re-tighten the motor mount cap screw. Reach into the belt access cavity and roll the belt onto the desired set of pulleys (see Figure 34).
Indexing Indexing on a lathe is typically used for workpiece layout and other auxiliary operations that require equal distances around the workpiece circumference, such as clock faces or inlays. To use the indexing feature, place the indexing pin into one of the indexing holes in the headstock as shown in Figure 37. This will hold the spindle and workpiece at the desired indexed position.
Selecting Turning Tools • Lathe tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and usually fall into five major categories. • Scrapers—Typically used where access for other tools is limited, such as hollowing operations. This is a flat, double-ground tool that comes in a variety of profiles (round nose, spear point, square nose, etc.) to match many different contours. Gouges—Mainly used for rough cutting, detail cutting, and cove profiles.
Spindle Turning Spindle Turning To set up a spindle turning operation: 1. Spindle turning is the operation performed when a workpiece is mounted between the headstock and the tailstock (see Figure 42). Find the center point of both ends of your workpiece by drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner across the end of the workpiece (see Figure 43). Workpiece Pencil Lines Marked Diagonally Across Corners Workpiece Center Figure 42. Typical spindle turning operation. Figure 43.
4. To help embed the spur center into the workpiece, cut 1⁄8" deep saw kerfs in the same end of the workpiece along the diagonal lines marked in Step 1. 8. Install the live center into the tailstock quill and tighten the quill lock handle to lock the quill in position (refer to Page 26 for additional instructions). 5. If your workpiece is over 2" x 2", cut the corners off the workpiece length-wise to make turning safer and easier. 9. 6.
Tool Rest 11. Position the tool rest approximately 1⁄4" away from the workpiece and approximately 1⁄8" above the workpiece center line (see Figure 45). 1 ⁄4" ⁄8" • When turning the lathe ON, stand away from the path of the spinning workpiece until the lathe reaches full speed and you can verify that the lathe will not throw the workpiece. • Use the slowest speed when starting or stopping the lathe.
Faceplate Turning Faceplate Turning Faceplate turning is when a workpiece is mounted to the faceplate, which is then mounted to the headstock spindle. This type of turning is usually done with open-faced workpieces like bowls or plates. NOTICE Only use tap screws or wood screws with non-tapered heads (Figure 48) to attach the faceplate to the workpiece. Do NOT use drywall screws or screws with tapered heads because they can split the faceplate, or the screws may snap off during operation.
Outboard Turning Sanding/Finishing Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turning and is usually done when the stock diameter is greater than 12". For the size of this particular lathe and its minimum turning speed, we recommend a maximum diameter of 17". After the turning operations are complete, the workpiece can be sanded and finished before removing it from the lathe (see Figure 50). Figure 49 depicts the lathe setup at 90° for turning larger workpieces.
