WARNING! Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instructions. Read

REMOVE THE ANTI-RUST COATING
Your tool comes protected with a layer of anti-rust coat-
ing that needs to be cleaned off before use. Wipe off the
coating using an acetone-moistened cloth. Wear gloves
to protect your hands. Apply a light coat of good-quality
paste wax to the bed.
MOUNT THE LATHE TO A BENCHTOP
For safe operation, securely mount the lathe onto a se-
cure workbench to prevent movement during operation
(mounting hardware is not included). Refer to Fig. 3 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.

ADJUST THE TOOL REST
You can adjust the position, height and angle of the tool rest assembly to suit your task at hand.
1. The tool rest locking lever (Fig. 4 - 4) locks the tool rest body (Fig. 4 - 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: 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 16, step 7).
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 tool rest locking handle (Fig. 4 - 3) locks the tool rest (Fig. 4 - 1) 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.
