Guidelines for speed adjustment
Low speeds for:
• workpieces with large diameters
• hard workpieces with large diameters
• long, unbalanced workpieces
• glued pieces of wood
Speed adjustment (Fig. 7)
• The speed adjustment must always be carried out
with the machine switched on.
• By pulling, the lever disengages and can be turned
to the desired level, in which the lever is to be en-
gaged again.
Note: before clamping a new workpiece, set the diam-
eter of the workpiece and, accordingly, set the speed
according to the speed diagram. For unbalanced or
very large workpieces, select at least 1 level smaller.
Driver, Fig. 1.2, A
The driver is used exclusively for work between both
centers.
Face plate, figure 1.1
The face plate is used with flat larger tools.
Change of the clamping tools
• Loosen grub screw on the shaft of the clamping tool.
• Retain spindle with mandrel, release the clamping
tool with the hexagonal spanner.
Headstock, Fig. 9
• The headstock can be swivelled after releasing the
clamping handle and pulling the locking bolt up to
180° (engagement positions 60°/90°/135°/180°).
• The headstock must be clamped again in each posi-
tion.
• The headstock is to be adjusted in the released po-
sition on the drilling bed in order to attach the tool
rest from the left onto the tailstock.
• These positions enable you to process tools with
larger diameters.
Tailstock
• Once the eccentric clamp has been loosened, the
tailstock can be moved over the entire length of the
bed and can be secured at any distance from the
headstock.
• To insert a workpiece between the centers, loosen
the binder, turn the sleeve approx. 20 mm outward
and clamp.
• Slide the tailstock to the workpiece and place the
tailstock center into the sunken point in the center
of the workpiece.
• Screw out the tailstock sleeve until the tailstock
center rests securely in the wood. Retighten the
binder.
• Turn the workpiece to see if it rests securely be-
tween the two centers and can be rotated freely.
Tailstock center replacement, Fig. 1.1, 4
• Loosen the binder (5).
• Turn tailstock spindle sleeve totally backwards until
the tip can be removed.
Tool holder, Fig. 9, 10
• The tool holder both insures safe use of wood turn-
ing tools and at the same time serves as a support
for the hand.
• The height of the tool holder can be adjusted once
the binder has been loosened. To turn further, pull in
the direction indicated by the arrow.
• Place the tool holder at a distance of 1 – 3 mm from
the workpiece. Check the adjustment in addition to
rotating the workpiece by hand.
• Set the tool holder ca. 3 mm above the axis of the
workpiece.
• Check the adjustment once again by rotating the
workpiece by hand.
• Once the eccentric clamp has been loosened,
the holder console can be moved along the entire
length of the bed and in the direction perpendicular
to the workpiece. Furthermore, the holder console
can be tilted over approx. 45º to either side.
• To work with a plane surface, turn the tool holder
90º and place up against the surface to be worked.
Depending on the wood turning tool, place the tool
holder up to 6 mm underneath the axis of the work-
piece.
• If the headstock is swivelled, then the tool rest with
the extension is to be used (Fig. 11).
• Therefore it is inserted from the left of the headstock
so that larger discs can be processed.

Examples of how to use the tools when working with
the most frequent forms. Once the machine has been
plugged in, it is ready to be used. Observe the operat-
ing instructions in „Electrical connection".
Operations
A perfect and sharp wood turner tool is a precon-
dition for professional wood-turning.
Selection of materials
• Wood to be turned must be of good quality and with-
out imperfections such as fissures against the grain,
a marred surface, or knots. Faulty wood tends to
split and becomes a risk for both the operator and
the machine.
• Workpieces that have been glued together should
only be processed by experienced craftsmen. Be-
cause the workpiece can explode as a result of
developing centrifugal force, turning such wood de-
mands careful gluing without weak points.
Note: Beginners should first master fundamental skills
by working exclusively with solid material.
Preparation of the materials
• To turn long pieces of wood, the material must be
cut into a square form beforehand.
• To turn a cross-arm, the material must be cut to size
in its natural state as well. Saw out the rough form
with a band saw. An octagonal form is recommend-
ed for the material so that vibrations are reduced.
