Use and Care Manual

OPERATING CONTROLS

1. Digital Speed Display - shows the current speed (RPM) of

the spindle (Fig. 18 - 1).

2. Speed Dial - rotate the dial (Fig. 19 - 1) to set the lathe to the

desired speed. Turning the dial counterclockwise decreases the

speed; turning the dial clockwise increases the speed.

3. Main Switch - turn the lathe off and on. Remove the safety

key (Fig. 19 - 2) to prevent the machine from operating.

4. Circuit breaker - if the machine draws too much current dur

ing operation, the breaker (Fig. 20 - 1) will trip to protect the

motor and the lathe will shut off. Flip the switch OFF and press

the breaker to reset it. If it will not reset, wait a moment to let it

cool down, then try again. Reduce depth of cut. If the machine

will not turn back on, call Customer Service for assistance.

2. Loosen the side cover knob (Fig. 16 - 1), then pull the side

cover (Fig. 16 - 2) up and rotate it out of the way to access the

motor pulley. Tighten the knob.

3. Turn the belt tension locking handle (Fig. 17 - 2) counter

clockwise and pull up on the motor plate ﬂange (Fig. 17 - 1)

to relieve tension on the drive belt. Tighten the handle. Place

the drive belt between the spindle pulley and motor pulley as

shown in Fig. 14 to achieve the desired speed setting.

4. Holding the motor plate ﬂange, loosen the locking handle.

Lower the motor until its full weight has been applied to the

belt. At this point, the belt is properly tensioned. Tighten the

handle. Note: the handle is spring-loaded, and can be re-po

sitioned as necessary by pulling outwards, re-positioning the

lever, and allowing it to spring back inwards.

5. Replace the back and side covers.

NOTE: Always start at slower speeds for rough cuts and

when working on larger workpieces. Use faster speeds for

more reﬁned cuts and detailed work.
