Installing the faceplate:
1. Loosen the headstock drive centre (4) and remove
from the spindle.
2. Thread the faceplate (15) onto the headstock spin-
dle and tighten by hand and the wrench.
Securing workpiece on the faceplate:
Workpieces that cannot be worked using the head-
stock drive centre (4), instead must be mounted on a
faceplate (15) or a backing piece, such as a chuck or
block of wood.
1. Rough cut the workpiece as close as possible to
the final shape before mounting onto the faceplate
(15).
2. Firmly attach the faceplate (15) to the workpiece.
Depending on the workpiece, this can be done
with wood screws (not supplied) driven directly
into the workpiece. Where the intended cutting di-
mensions do not allow for screws, a backing piece
might be required. A backing piece can be made
from a piece of scrap wood cube with two flat and
parallel opposite faces. Identify and mark the cen-
tre of the backing piece.
It may be necessary to bond the carrier part
(wooden block) with the workpiece and attach it
to the carrier part, before fastening it to the face
plate (15) using screws (not included in the scope
of delivery). In this case, clamp the backing piece
to the workpiece and wait for the glue to dry ac-
cording to the glue manufacturer's recommenda-
tion. Where the use of screws into the workpieceis
not permissible, the workpiece can be glued onto
a backing piece with a piece of paper placed in
between the joint. This allows for later separation
without damage caused to the workpiece. Use
only non-tapered head wood screws. Do not use
tapered head wood screws.
Caution: Pay attention to the wood turning chisel
so that it does not interfere with the holding screws
at the finished dimensions of the workpiece.
m IMPORTANT!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it
for the first time!
Switching on and off (Fig. 1)
• Press the On switch (2/„I")to start the machine.
• Press the Off switch (2/"0") to stop the machine.
Caution: The device starts running immediately at
the set speed.
Speed adjustment (Fig. 1)
The correct speed must be set to suit the workpiece to
be processed.
Electronic speed control:
Use the electronic speed control to steplessly set the
speed:
Set the speed with the help of the speed control (3).
Important information for operation
• We recommend that you refer to specialised litera-
ture on wood-turning techniques.
• Look out for knots and shrinkage shakes when se-
lecting the wood for your turning work. Only use
wood which is free of cracks and large knots (where
there are small knots, take appropriate care with the
pressure applied with the turning tool).
• Always check that the shaped item is securely held
by checking it by hand. Warning! Pull out the power
plug!
• Use only an original turning tool which is sharp.
• Do not stand in the flight path of the workpiece when
turning wooden disks.
• Please cut large and imbalanced shaped items to
size as best as possible using a bandsaw or fret-
saw. If the shaped items are very imbalanced they
will pose a risk to your health and to the service life
of the machine.
• Always start with the lowest possible speed for
new workpieces being turned and increase it with
increasing massiveness of the workpiece being
turned.
• Do not use wooden disks with contraction cracks,
since they pose a high risk of bursting under the im-
pact of centrifugal forces.
• Do not exceed the maximum workpiece sizes.
• In case of tools which get blocked: Pull out the power
plug first before starting troubleshooting.
• To do your turning work, position yourself at the ma-
chine so that you can guide the cutting tools effec-
tively on the tool support.
• Only use cutting tools, which are recommended for
wood turning works.
