4 Safety Rules As with all machinery there are certain hazards involved with the operation and use. Using machines with caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. If you have any questions relative to the installation and operation, do not use the equipment until you have contacted your supplying distributor. Read carefully before operating the lathe: 1. Keep the working area clean and be sure adequate lighting is available. 2. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or ornaments. Wear face, eye, respiratory and body protection devices as indicated for the operation or environment. 3. Be sure that the power is disconnected from the machine before tools are serviced or an attachment is fitted or removed. 4. Never leave the machine with the power on. 5. Do not use dull, gummy or cracked cutting tools. 6. Be sure that the keys and adjusting wrenches have been removed and all the nuts and bolts are secured.

7 Receiving your machine Before you unpack your new Laguna Tools Lathe, you will need to first inspect the packing, invoice and shipping documents supplied by the driver. Ensure that there is no visible damage to the packing or the machine. You need to do this prior to the driver leaving. If any damage is found, note it on the delivery documents, which must be signed by you and the delivery driver. You must then contact the seller [Laguna Tools] as soon as practical. If you find damage after the driver has left, contact the seller [Laguna Tools] as soon as practical. Unpacking your lathe To unpack your machine you will need tin snips, knife, screw driver [star] and a wrench 1. Using the tin snips cut the banding that is securing the box [if fitted]. WARNING: EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED BECAUSE THE BANDING WILL SPRING AND COULD CAUSE INJURY. Then remove the screws that secure the box to the base [row of screws around the bottom of the box]. 2. Lift the box off and discard. This needs two people. Or take the box apart sheet by sheet. 3. Using the knife, cut the plastic wrap and remove it. 4. Remove the boxes on the base of the box. 5. Remove the base mounting bolts that secure the machine to the base. 6. It is recommended that the machine be removed from the pallet by lifting it with a hoist or forklift. Place a sling as shown and lift vertically. 7. Remove the pallet and lower to the floor. The machine can be lifted using a forklift truck, by using a SLING, as shown with a lifting capability of 2,000 Kg [4,400lb] Note: The machine is heavy, so if you have any doubt about the described procedure, seek professional assistance. Do not attempt any procedure that you feel is unsafe or that you do not have the physical capability of achieving. What you will receive with your machine Pic of the parts laid out 7

8 Introduction to your lathe This lathe is designed to give you years of safe service. Please read this owner s manual in its entirety before assembly. Parts of the lathe Body of the lathe The body is of welded construction, manufactured from heavy steel plate. It has three main parts: a headstock, guide rails and a tail pillar. Headstock The headstock houses the motor, electrical system, headstock spindle and is attached to the guide rails. 8

9 Electrical system The electrical system comprises of the following: A switch panel is mounted on the headstock that has the start, stop and emergency stop switch. Mounted behind the panel is the magnetic contactor. The motor is protected by an over-temperature switch [internal to the motor]. The side access door is protected by a switch which cuts power to the motor should the door be opened. Headstock spindle The headstock spindle is the heart of the lathe, as it must run true and without any slop or vibration. The spindle is threaded M33 x 3.5 with an internal MK2 Morse taper. The thread is used to attach accessories such as chucks, and the Morse taper is used for drive centers, etc. The spindle is mounted in a housing that attaches directly to the guide bars. The spindle has a lock to stop rotation when chucks, etc. are being attached or removed. Guide rails The lathe has two ground and polished steel tubes that control the longitudinal movement on the lathe. The tailstock, copy carriage, headstock spindle housing, fixed steady and the limit stops fit onto the guide rails. Tailstock The tailstock attaches to the guide rails and can be moved longitudinally. It can be locked in any position along the guide rails. The spindle has a MK 2 Morse taper and can be retracted or extended to suit the job. Copy attachment The copy attachment is a saddle that moves longitudinally along the guide rails and moves the tool to follow the contours of a master or template that is held in a holder located at the back of the machine. The tool can be adjusted to cut various diameters. The template / master position is adjustable to accommodate various sizes of work. A hand wheel that moves the saddle via a chain and sprocket controls the longitudinal movement. A handle that moves the saddle in and out controls the cross slide movement. The copy saddle travel is limited by a control knob located on the front of the cross slide. Adjustable stops that limit the longitudinal travel of the saddle are located on the front guide rail. Protection screen A screen attached to the copy saddle is provided to protect the operator from chips that are generated when the copy attachment is being used. This is only a first line of defense, so eye protection must always be worn when using the lathe. Steadies The machine is supplied with two steadies. One is mounted on the copy saddle and is used primarily for controlling long jobs that are being copy-turned. The steady has rings that fit into each other. By 9

10 removing rings, you can accommodate various sizes of work. The main function is to steady non-round [square] stock that is being turned. The steady has a tool that cuts the stock to a diameter to suit the ring selected and holds the job securely for the copy tool to cut. The rings are mounted in a bearing that enables the rings to rotate with the job. The second steady is mounted directly onto the guide rails. It can be moved along the guide rails and clamped in position. The steady has three bearings that are adjustable to suit the diameter of the job. Tool rest A tool rest is supplied which is mounted to the copy saddle and is adjustable for the height and diameter of the job. An optional guide-rail mounted tool rest is available from Laguna Tools. Identification There is a plate at the back of the machine listing all the manufacturing data including the serial number and model, etc. Tools and accessories See earlier section on what you will receive with your machine. Assembly and setup Where to locate your lathe Before you remove your lathe from the pallet, select the area where you will use your machine. There are no hard and fast rules for its location, but below are a few guidelines. 1. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance all round the machine, as you will have to have access to the back of the machine. 2. Adequate lighting. The better the lighting, the more accurately and safely you will be able to work. 3. Solid floor. You should select a solid flat floor, preferably of concrete or something similar. 4. Close to power source. 5. Provide for a place that will be suitable for storing finished products and rough blanks. Leveling the Lathe After you have located your lathe in its final position, you will have to level it. 1. Place a spirit level on the guide bars. You will have to level the lathe in both directions. 2. The base of the machine is provided with threaded leveling holes and bolts. You can also bolt the machine to the floor [bolts not provided]. This is the preferred method as the machine will be more stable. 3. If you decide to bolt the machine to the floor you can level it with shims [shims not provided] or use the leveling bolts. If you decide to use the leveling bolts do not over-tighten them as this could damage the base of the 10

11 lathe and could cause the machine to vibrate. It is also recommended that the machine be mounted on anti-vibration material. 4. When leveling the machine that is not bolted to the floor, insert the leveling bolts into the corner holes and adjust the bolts so that the machine is level in both planes and does not rock on the floor. Assembling your lathe Cleaning the machine Remove the rust protection grease with WD 40 or similar solvent. Electrical connection Note: the machine is supplied with an electrical cord but not a plug, as the type of plug will be dependent on the installation. It is advisable that qualified personnel carry out the electrical installation. Ensure that the main supply corresponds with that of the machine. If you have to change the electrical cable, use wiring suitable for the power and the length of cable that is needed for your installation. On the machine you will see a wire that is yellow and green, this is the ground wire, the other colored wires are power phase it does not matter what color combination you use, green/yellow is ground; all other wiring is power (there is no neutral). On single phase the wiring can be interchanged as you wish, it will not affect the rotation of the motor. The direction of rotation of machines with a single-phase supply is predetermined during production. Before starting the machine 1. Read and understand the instruction manual, before operating the machine. 2. If you are still not thoroughly familiar with the operation of the machine, get advice from a qualified person. 3. Make sure the machine is properly grounded and that the wiring codes are followed. 4. Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol, or if tired. 5. Always wear eye protection, safety glasses or a safety shield, and hearing protection. 6. Wear dust mask; long term exposure to the fine dust created by the machine is not healthy. 7. Remove your tie, rings, watch, and all jewelry. Roll up your sleeves and never wear loose clothing. You do not want anything to get caught in the machine. 8. Make sure that the guards are in place and use them at all times. The guards protect you. 9. Stop the machine before fitting or removing a job. 11

12 Operating your lathe Stop knob. Press to stop the machine, non-emergency operation. Green knob. Press to start the machine. Emergency stop knob, [red]. Press for emergency stop. To reset, turn clockwise. The machine will not operate until the switch has been reset. Machine test Now it is the time to test the machine. 1. Close the door. If you try to start the machine with the door open the machine will not start, as the safety switch is not on. 2. Check that there are no tools fitted; it is far safer to test the machine without the tools fitted. 3. Check that the red emergency switch is in the fully out position. 4. Check that the machine is clear of all tools and other loose objects. 5. Check that all the adjusting and locking handles are tight. 6. Start the lathe by pressing the green start knob. 7. Now is the time to check that all the safety switches are functioning correctly before you fit any tools. 8. With the machine running, press the red emergency stop switch. The motor should have the power removed and slow down. 9. With the machine running, operate the red stop switch by pressing towards the machine. The motor should have the power removed and slow down. 10. With the machine running, open the door very slowly until the door switch functions. The motor should have the power removed and slow down. Close the door and wait for the motor to completely stop before you fully open the doors. 11. If any of the safety switches fail to operate correctly, do not use the machine until the fault has been corrected. Speed selection The lathe is supplied with a pulley system that offers 4 spindle speeds [500rpm / 1,000rpm / 2,000rpm / 2,800rpm]. To select the required speed follow the procedure below: Note: The belt can be re-tensioned by adjusting the lock nuts. The belt comes factory set but should be checked and re- 12

13 tensioned after running the machine for a few hours as the belt will bed into the pulleys. Note: With the power disconnected from the machine. 1. Rotate handle and the motor will move in a vertical direction. This will slacken the belt. 2. Move the belt to the selected set of pulleys. 3. Rotate the handle back to the original position. This will move the motor down vertically putting the tension back onto the drive belt. Turning between centers / face plates / chucks The headstock spindle has a male thread M33 x 3.5. This thread is used to attach chucks, faceplates and other attachments to the spindle. The spindle has an internal Morse taper MK2. The Morse taper is used to attach either of the two drive centers that are supplied with the machine. To remove a drive center, slide the knock-out rod from the back of the spindle through the hole that runs through its center. Give the installed drive center a sharp knock and the drive center should come free. Note: Keep your hand below the center to catch it as it is released. To install the face plate Lock the spindle with the spindle-locking rod [directly below the spindle thread. Push up to lock spindle]. Screw the faceplate onto the spindle thread, ensuring that it is tight. To remove the faceplate, reverse the above procedure. To fit a chuck to the lathe The lathe is not supplied with a chuck. If you are going to purchase a chuck, ensure that the internal thread matches the spindle thread [M33 x 3.5]. If you have existing chucks with American 1 x 8TPI threads, Laguna offers an adaptor that converts the spindle thread to the 1 x 8TPI thread. It is always advisable to mount the chuck directly onto the spindle of the lathe as any adaptor can introduce inaccuracies and your chuck may not run 100% true to the spindle. Use the spindle lock to stop rotation of the spindle while fitting or removing your chuck. Fitting and using the fixed steady The fixed steady is attached to the guide bars and will not move longitudinally with the job. The steady is used to support long thin jobs. It has three bearings that rotate with the job and stop the job from moving off center. To move the steady to the required position on the lathe bed, loosen the ratchet handle, slide to the required position and clamp with the ratchet handle To adjust for the diameter of the job 13

14 1. Loosen the three black plastic knobs. 2. Fit the job between centers. 3. Adjust the three bearings roughly equal around the circumference of the job so that they are just touching the wood and clamp in position with the three black plastic knobs. 4. Rotate the job by hand to ensure that the adjustment of the steady is correct, ensuring that all three bearings rotate freely. Fitting the tool rest The machine is supplied with a tool rest that is fitted to the copy saddle. To fit the tool rest, the following parts, [if fitted to the machine] must be removed: - Guard. - Saddle tool holder. - Rotating steady. Clamp the tool rest holder to the saddle with the 2 clamp screws and adjust to suit the job. The vertical position of the fence can be adjusted and then clamped with the ratchet screw. An optional guiderail mounted tool rest holder is available from Laguna tools. Tailstock The machine is supplied with a tailstock that can be adjusted along the guide rails of the lathe. To clamp in the position, tighten the two bolts that are located at the back with the wrench supplied. Rotating the handle located at the back of the tailstock can extend or retract the tailstock spindle. The spindle has a female Morse taper MK2 for fitting various centers and attachments. The spindle can be locked in position by rotating the clamping screw that is located on the top of the tailstock at the front. To fit the rotating center, rotate the spindle-adjusting handle so that the spindle is approximately 50% extended. Clean the internal Morse taper of the tailstock and the Morse taper of the center. Push the center into the spindle hole and it should lock in position. To check that it is locked, try to rotate the fixed part of the center by hand. To remove the center from the tailstock, rotate the spindle-adjusting handle so that the spindle is retracted. The Morse taper of the center will come up against a dead stop and if you continue to retract the spindle the center will be freed. Keep your hand under the center so that it is not allowed to fall and become damaged. The machine is supplied with two types of rotating centers; one for general-purpose work and the second one for use when using the rotating steady on the copy saddle. The lathe is supplied with drill chuck [1/16 to 5/8 drill capacity] that also fits into the tailstock. When hand-turning spindles [non-copy turning], etc., you may find it more convenient to remove the tailstock and refit on the other side of the copy saddle. To assemble the rotating steady onto the copy saddle Note: The rotating center is located on the saddle by two spring pins [dowels]. Care must be taken to ensure that they line up with the relevant holes while assembling. 14

15 Also take care that they are not damaged while disassembling the rotating steady from the saddle. 1. Align the spring pins to the holes in the saddle. 2. Gently tap the casting so that the spring pins go into the holes and the casting is flush with the mating face. Note: Only use a soft-face mallet or a block of wood to tap the casting down. Cast iron is brittle, and if you hit it with hard objects, IT WILL BREAK. 3: Clamp in position with the three clamping screws. Note: Always use the spring pins as they align the rotating steady with the centerline of the lathe, and if not used, the rotating steady will be off center and not function correctly. To disassemble the rotating steady from the lathe 1. Remove the 3 vertical clamping screws. 2. Using two large screwdrivers, leaver the rotating center up from the casting. Ensure that the steady moves vertically parallel. If the steady is moved at an angle, the pins may be bent or damaged and you will have to replace them. Turning parallel using the copy saddle The copy saddle can turn parallel jobs by simply using the slide travel limiter that is a black knob mounted on the front of the saddle. To turn repetitive parallel jobs, simply adjust the knob till the section being turned is at the correct diameter. The lathe is now set and will turn jobs to the same diameter repetitively. This is a handy function when turning dowels. Note: Constantly check the finished product for size as the setting could change and you could produce rejects. If you are turning short, large-diameter jobs, you will probably not need to use the rotating steady, but if the job is long and thin, it will provide an advantage. The most useful feature of the rotating steady is its ability to turn square stock round in a single pass. This is covered later in the manual. Assembling the copy-cutting tool The copy tool fits into a holder that is fitted onto the cross slide of the copy saddle. It can be fit in various positions, dependent on the diameter of the job that you are turning and the turning range of each set of holes marked on the cross slide. The tool can be adjusted vertically so that it is on the centerline of the work by loosening the tool clamp screws and moving the tool up or down. The unused screw holes are protected from damage and from filling up with sawdust or dirt by plastic screws. Always replace the plastic screws into the unused holes to keep them clean and undamaged. A second cutting tool is fitted onto the rotating steady that is used as a pre-cutter. This tool turns the rough stock to a diameter that will fit the bushing that has been 15

16 selected. It has two bolts/nuts that clamp the housing in position and an adjusting knob. The tool is clamped in position by two Allen screws. Selecting a support bushing in the rotating steady The rotating steady has a number of bushings that support jobs of various sizes. Select a ring that is the next size up from the biggest diameter of the job. Remove the row of screws and clamp plates that hold the ring in place and then remove the rings. Replace the screws and the clamp plates in the removed ring; you do not want to loose them. Using the pre cutter, turn the stock to a snug fit in the selected bushings. This will support the job and provide a stable work piece for the copy cutter. Pivot bolt Adjusting knob Pre cutter Clamp bolt Assembly and adjusting the pre-cutter 1. Fit the tool into the holder and clamp in position with the 2 Allen screws. The cutter should protrude 28mm to 30mm [1 1/8 ] 2. Loosen the pivot bolt, clamp bolt / nut. 3. Move the tool with the adjusting knob to the approximate position to cut the diameter that you have selected. Ensure that the tool is on the centerline of the job; tighten the clamp bolt and pivot bolt. 4. Complete a trial cut and measure the diameter. 5. Adjust the tool to compensate for the error by loosening the clamp bolt and turning the adjusting knob. The top nut will act as a pivot. Once you have completed the adjustment, tighten the lower clamp bolt and complete a second trial cut. 6. Refine the tool position if required. Protection screen A protection screen is provided for use when copy turning. It is attached to the saddle by three plastic headed threaded knobs. Note: Even when using the protection screen you must wear eye protection. Indexing The lathe is supplied with an indexing attachment that allows you to lock the spindle in different positions [3,4,5,6,810,12,15,18 and 24 equal divisions] By using this function in conjunction with the router attachment you can cut straight grooves in the job. If you have contoured the job using the copy attachment, you can cut features that follow its contours. The indexing plate is locked in position with a retractable pin that is mounted in a housing on the backside of the lathe. 16

17 Fitting the indexing mechanism 1. Fit the indexing pin assembly at the back of the lathe with the screws provided. 2. Lock the spindle with the spindle-locking rod [directly below the spindle thread]. 3. The index plate has a split thread that is adjusted with a clamp screw. 4. Loosen the clamp screw and attach the index plate to the spindle thread. 5. Adjust the position of the index plate on the thread so that the holes on the side line up with the locking pin. 6. Once in the final position; lock in position by tightening the clamp screw. 7. To remove the indexing plate reverse the above procedure, but leave the indexing pin assembly in position. Note: Before starting the router, double-check that the thread clamping screw is tight. Indexing plate Fitting the router holder The router holder is mounted on the saddle cross slide and accepts laminate cutters with a collar of 1.7 diameter. 17

18 To fit the router holder, remove the copy-cross slide tool holder, guard and rotating steady. Fit the router holder in the same hole group as the tool holder. Select the set of holes to suit the position you require. Copy turning Assembling the template holder The template or master holder is located at the back of the lathe. It does not come assembled onto the lathe and will have to be fitted. To fit the template holder, bolt the brackets onto the back of the lathe as shown. Make sure that you assemble the bracket with the cutout at the tailstock end of the lathe. There is a vertical adjustment screw above the top clamp bolt on each bracket. Assemble the template holder bar onto the brackets as shown. Adjusting the template holder The template holder has fine and course adjustment. You will need to set the template holder parallel to the lathe spindle as follows. 1. Unclamp the two clamps that attach the template holder bar to the fine adjustment rod on both sides of the template holder. 2. Move the bar as far forward as the two slots will allow and re-clamp in position. 3. Obtain a piece of parallel wood or something similar [½ thick is ideal but the thickness is not important]. 4. With the copy saddle at either end of the lathe, adjust the follower [with the slide travel limiting knob] so that the roller just touches the wood [which is being held against the template holder bar]. 5. Move to the opposite end of the lathe and with the same piece of wood held against the bar, check if the distance between the roller and the wood is the same. 6. If adjustment is needed, loosen the black plastic clamp screws and adjust with the adjusting screw [located at the back of the angle]. 7. Once the template holder bar is parallel, you need to scribe a line across both aluminum brackets with a sharp knife, or something similar, at the base of the template holder bar. Fill the line with a permanent marker so that it is visible. This line will be used as a quick reference when setting up templates and masters. Templates and masters The material that you make your templates and masters from should be hard. If you make them from a soft material, they could be damaged by the copy roller and can change their shape. The cross slide is controlled by a handle and a spring. The spring 18

19 has 3 tensions and is accessed from under the cross slide at the back of the machine. [Item 26: exploded view drawing of transversal support] The spring clips onto hooks. You should always use the strongest spring tension that the template or master can take without damage. Clamp ring Holder Follower Knurled ring Ratchet screw Copy roughing and finishing cuts A facility is provided on the lathe to enable you to set the machine for rough and finishing cuts. 1. With the follower fully engaged in the holder, bring the clamping ring forward so that it touches the inside face of the holder, and lock in place. 2. Adjust the gap between the locking ring and the knurled ring to the depth of cut that you require for the finishing pass. 3. Unclamp the clamping ring and move it back so that it touches the knurled ring, and clamp in position. 4. Move the follower out so that the locking ring touches the inside of the housing, and lock in position with the ratchet screw that is located under the housing. 5. The machine is now set for the roughing cut. 6. After the machine has made the final roughing cut. Release the ratchet clamping handle and move the follower back, re-clamping in position. 7. Make the final cut. 8. To move the follower to the roughing cut position release the ratchet handle and move the follower forward, and clamp in position. To copy-turn There are several ways to set up for copy-turning and, with experience, you will decide on the one that suits you. Below is one method that you can use and refine. 1. Place the template in the U clamps provided, push the template so that the back of the template is flush with the template holder bar and clamp in position. If you are using a master, clamp between centers and lock in position. 2. Adjust the saddle copy tool to the biggest radius of the job to be copied. You can do this by fitting a rotating center into the tailstock and bringing the point 19

20 of the center in front of the saddle cutting tool. Measure the distance between the center point and the cutting point of the tool and adjust using the slide limiting travel knob. 3. Move the saddle so that the copy follower roller is in front of the largest diameter of the job. Move to the back of the machine and loosen the two clamp screws on each side of the template holder bar. Slide the bar forward so that the template or master just touches the roller. Using the scribed lines on the bracket and a ruler, adjust the template holder bar so that it is equal at both ends and the follower roller is just touching the largest diameter. 4. Fit the blank into the lathe and turn, adjusting the slide-limiting knob so that you cut progressively deeper cuts. Continue until the follower is contacting the template or master along the complete surface. 5. Measure the job at both ends and check that it is correct. If you need to adjust the diameter, loosen the template holder bar clamps and adjust with the fine adjustment knobs. Note: When initially setting up, make the job oversized, as you can always adjust to make it smaller. Note: Two adjustable stops are provided on the front guide bar to limit the travel of the copy saddle. Maintenance General Keep your machine clean. At the end of each day clean the machine. Wood contains moisture, and if sawdust or wood chips are not removed they will cause rust. In general we recommend that you only use a Teflon based lubricant on the lathe. Regular oil attracts dust and dirt and the Teflon tends to dry and has fewer tendencies to accumulate dirt and sawdust. The exception is the copy saddle, which is provided with two grease nipples. Any good quality grease can be used and the saddle should be greased every 12 hours of use. After greasing, wipe off any excess grease that is visible. Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are tight. The guide bars are precision ground and polished. It is a good idea to make a wooden protector that you can lay over them when the lathe is not in use and prevent damage from falling tools, etc. Drive belt The drive belt should last for many years [depending on the usage] but needs to be inspected regularly for cracks, cuts and general wear. If damage is found, replace the belt. Bearings All bearings are sealed for life and do not require any maintenance. If a bearing becomes faulty, replace it. 20

21 Rust The lathe is made from steel and cast iron. All non-painted surfaces will rust if not protected. It is recommended that non-painted surfaces be protected, by applying wax or a Teflon-based lubricant. Copy saddle chain adjustment The chain that controls the lateral movement of the saddle comes factory set and should not need adjustment. The chain is provided with an adjustment screw and nut [nut located inside the head stock]. If you need to adjust the chain, hold the chain attachment screw steady [it has two flats] so that the chain is not twisted and then retension. Troubleshooting Lathe will not start 1. Check that the start switch is being pressed fully in. 2. Check that the red emergency stop switch is fully out. 3. Check that the electrical power cord is plugged into the power outlet. 4. Check that the electrical supply is on [reset the breaker]. 5. Check that door is closed. 6. With the power disconnected from the machine, check that the wiring to the plug is correct. Check that the rubber insulation is stripped enough and is not causing a bad connection. Check that all the screws are tight. 7. Test the safety circuit. The circuit is a loop that has the Emergency stop switch, stop switch and door switch. It is designed to be fail-safe, and any switch that is not functioning or set correctly will cause the machine not to start. If there is no continuity you will have to trace the switch that is open or faulty and correct the fault. The machine will not stop This is a very rare occurrence as the machine is designed to be fail-safe. If it should occur and you cannot fix the fault, seek professional assistance. The machine must be disconnected from the power and never run until the fault has been rectified. 1. Stop switch faulty. Replace the stop switch. 2. Internal breaker faulty. Replace the breaker. Motor tries to start but will not turn 1. With the power disconnected from the machine, try to turn the spindle by hand. If the spindle will not turn, check the reason for the jamming. 2. Capacitor faulty. Replace the capacitor. 3. Motor faulty. Replace the motor. Motor overheats The motor is designed to run hot, but should it overheat, it has an internal thermal overload protector that will shut it down until the motor has cooled, and then it will 21

22 reset automatically. If the motor overheats, wait until it has cooled and restart. If the motor shuts down consistently, check for the reason. Typical reasons are dull cutting tools, motor-cooling fan clogged or faulty, motor-cooling fins clogged, overfeeding the job and excessive ambient temperature. Squeaking noise 1. Check that the motor-cooling fan is not contacting the fan cover. 2. Check the bearings. 3. Check the drive belt. Spindle slows down during a cut 1. Loose drive belt. Re-tension the belt. 2. Dull cutting tools. Replace the tool or have it re-sharpened. 3. Feeding the wood too fast. Slow down the feed rate. 4. Oil or dirt on the drive belt. Clean or replace the drive belt. Machine vibrates 1. Machine not level on the floor. Re-level the machine, ensuring that it has no movement. 2. Damaged drive belt. Replace the belt. 3. Job is not balanced. Change to slower speed and or balance the job. 4. Damaged pulley. Replace the pulley. Electrical drawing 22
