4 General Instruction for 230V Machines Good Working Practices/Safety The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order. Primary Precautions WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN These machines are supplied with a moulded 13 Amp. Plug and 3 core power cable. Before using the machine inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible, have the tool inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to use an unbreakable type that will resist damage. Only use a 13 Amp plug, and make sure the cable clamp is tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same safety checks on them, and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current that is required for your machine. Work Place/Environment Make sure when the machine is placed that it sits firmly on the bench or stand, that it does not rock, that it is sufficiently clear of adjacent obstacles so that you have unimpeded access to all parts of the machine. The machine is designed for indoor use, do not use when or where it is liable to get wet. Keep the machine clean; it will enable you to more easily see any damage that may have occurred. Clean the overall machine with a damp soapy cloth if needed, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may cause damage to any plastic parts or to the electrical components. KEEP THE WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL, THIS INCLUDES PERSONNEL AS WELL AS MATERIAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS. It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also make sure to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended. Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable. Once you are ready to commence work, remove all tools used in the setting operations and place safely out of the way. Re-connect the machine. Carry out a final tightness check e.g. chuck or faceplate, workpiece, tool rest, etc., check that the correct speed has been selected. Make sure you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not reaching etc. If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or chips, wear the appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc. If the work operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the tool. Likewise, consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable to be a snag hazard. Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear, etc. DO NOT work with cutting tools of any description if you are tired, your attention is wandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost fingertip or worse is not worth it! Above all, OBSERVE. make sure you know what is happening around you, and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. Clean the machine components with a lightly oiled cloth. If the machine is liable to be standing idle for any length of time, a light coat of machine or spray oil will minimise rusting. 4

5 Specific Safety Instruction for Woodworking Lathes 1. Do not use split workpieces. 2. Always start at the lowest speed when starting a new task. 3. Check that the tool rest is at or slightly below the centre line of the workpiece. 4. Check the workpiece is securely mounted in the lathe before switching on the power. 5. Rotate the workpiece by hand, to check that it is centralised, clear of the tool rest, not split or has loose knots. 6. Where lathes have the facility to be reversed, check the machine is rotating in the correct direction. 7. If your lathe has the facility to run in reverse, you must ensure that the mounting accessories (chucks, faceplates etc.) can be locked onto the lathe mandrel and, in the case of chucks have some form of security device to prevent them unwinding during reverse operation. 8. Make sure your tools are stored/racked away from the turning area of the lathe. Do not reach over a rotating workpiece at any time. 9. Do not dig in or try to take too large a cut. 10. Do not leave the lathe running unattended or leave the machine until everything is stopped. 11. Some turning tools may have specific sharpening angles that have been determined by the manufacturers; when re-sharpening, adhere to these angles to maximise the finish of your work.

6 Assembly Important Notes Please take some time to read the section entitled Illustration and Description to identify the various parts of your machine so that you are familiar with the terminology we will use to enable you to set up and operate your table lathe safely and correctly. The lathe and its accessories will arrive coated with corrosion preventative grease. This will need to be cleaned from the lathe, its components and accessories prior to it being set up. Wearing overalls and rubber gloves is advisable, as is eye protection. After cleaning, lightly coat the machine with a thin layer of light wax. WARNING: THE WOOD LATHE IS A HEAVY MACHINE, IT IS ADVISABLE TO USE A LIFTING DEVICE SUCH AS A HOIST, SCISSOR LIFT OR SEEK HELP WHEN ASSEMBLING THE LATHE. UNPACK YOUR NEW PRECISION PRO LATHE AND RECYCLE THE PACKAGING RESPONSIBLY. THE CARDBOARD PACKAGING IS BIODEGRADABLE. PLEASE NOTE: The Precision Pro Lathe comes 90% assembled. In order to reduce the footprint of the machine for packaging, several items are dismounted from the machine and need to be re-affixed. Please check all the boxes, packets etc. to make sure that all the parts have been accounted for. 1. Located the four rubber feet (E), carefully place the lathe (A) on its side and screw each threaded foot into the four threaded holes to each corner of the lathe bed, see fig Fig 03 Note: If you find the lathe rocks from side to side, adjust the four height adjusting nuts on each foot until the lathe is stable, see fig 04. Fig 04 Height adjusting nut 3. Connect the Male & Female in line connectors from the motor and NVR switch assembly together, see fig 05.
