Please refer to Fig.10.1 for control references.
1. To start the drive unit push button B.
2. To adjust the speed of the lathe, turn the variable speed control C to
achieve the required speed. To increase the speed turn the control knob
clockwise and to decrease the speed turn the knob anti-clockwise.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the machine with work mounted, always
ensure that the speed control knob is set to the lowest speed setting and
gradually increase the speed as the work piece becomes balanced
and concentric.
3. To stop the machine or in case of emergency, push button A.
WARNING: As the lathe slows down after switching off, do not attempt
to slow the lathe down by hand. This could lead to severe damage to the
hands, through splinters, burning of the skin or even trapping of hands
between workpiece and toolrest / bed bars. Marking of the workpiece or
trapping could also occur if using a rag or cloth as a brake.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT run the variable speed unit below number 3 on the
speed control dial for more than 30 minutes without providing extra cooling
for the motor.
CAUTION: Even when the speed control dial is set to 0 the motor will still
turn slowly in a jerky motion. This is a safety feature designed to indicate
that the rotary switch C is on. DO NOT run the lathe at this setting (see note
above).
