Use and Care Manual

ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To prevent injury from accidental operation, make sure the tool is switched OFF and un-

plugged from the power source before assembling or making any adjustments.

CLEANING THE MACHINE

Your tool comes protected with a layer of anti-rust coating. Wipe off the coating using an acetone-moistened

cloth. DO NOT use cellulose-based solvents such as paint thinner or lacquer thinner, as these will damage the

painted surfaces. Then, apply a light coat of good-quality paste wax onto surfaces to protect from rust and corro-

sion.

MOUNTING THE LATHE TO A BENCHTOP

For safe operation, securely mount the lathe onto a secure workbench to prevent movement during operation

(mounting hardware is not included). Refer to the graph below (Fig. 1) for your lathe’s base dimensions.

NOTE: If the machine is not being mounted onto a benchtop, install the 4 rubber feet into the mounting holes.

TOOL REST ADJUSTMENTS (FIG. 2)

You can adjust the position, height and angle of the tool rest as-

sembly to suit your task at hand.

1. The tool rest locking lever (Fig. 2 - 1) locks the tool rest body

(Fig. 2 - 2) in position. Loosen the lever to slide the tool rest body

along the lathe bed. Tighten the lever firmly when the tool rest

body is properly positioned.

NOTE: There is a nut on the underside of tool rest body that

needs to be tightened periodically to enable the tool rest body

locking lever to tighten properly.

2. The small tool rest locking handle (Fig. 2 - 3) locks the tool rest

(Fig. 2 - 4) in place. Loosen the handle to position the tool rest at

the specific angle or height. Tighten the handle firmly when the

tool rest is properly positioned.

NOTE: Adjust the height of the tool rest to just below the center of the workpiece, so that the tool will cut at the

center of the workpiece (see page 14).
