Securing with the face plate (13) (Fig. 2)
1. Hold the drive shaft (18) firmly in place with the
open-ended spanner (16).
2. Unscrew the face plate (13) from the drive shaft
(18).
3. Fix the workpiece to the face plate (13) with wood
screws (not included in the scope of delivery).
m ATTENTION!
Danger of injury! Position the wood screws
such that they will not be accidentally ex-
posed by the tool when machining the work-
piece.
4. Hold the drive shaft (18) firmly in place with the
open-ended spanner (16).
5. Screw the face plate (13) with the pre-mounted
workpiece onto the drive shaft (18).
Adjusting the tool support (Fig. 1)
m ATTENTION!
Danger of injury! Make sure that the tool support
is well fixed and cannot come loose during op-
eration.
Fixing/releasing the tool support
1. The tool support (2) is fixed by pushing the lever
(9) downwards.
2. The tool support (2) is released by pushing the
lever (9) upwards. You can now move the tool
support.
Note: If it is difficult to move the tool support (2) or the
tailstock (5), adjust the nut on the underside with
a spanner or ratchet (19 mm).
Height adjustment of the tool support
3. Loosen the screw (2a) on the lower part of the tool
support (2b).
4. Set the desired height.
5. Fix the tool support (2) by tightening the screw
(2a).

11. Working instructions

• Before you start working, read up on the subject in
detail in technical literature.
• When selecting your workpiece, look out for knots,
knotholes, cracks or similar. You could lose con-
trol of your tool, which could result in serious injury.
Cracked workpieces can rupture during turning.
There is a danger of injury!
• Always cut the workpiece into shape as much as
possible before machining.
• Observe the maximum workpiece length and the
maximum workpiece diameter! You will find these
in the technical data.
• The workpiece must be fixed in the centre, an un-
balanced workpiece will affect the service life of the
machine.
• Only use tools suitable for turning.
• Never stand in the trajectory of the workpiece.
• Before starting work, with the mains plug removed,
check the following by turning manually:
- Is the workpiece stuck?
- Does the workpiece come into contact with the
tool support?
• Always start with a lower speed and increase it
gradually.
• Do not apply the tool to the workpiece until it has
reached the set rotational speed.
Remove blockages
Switch the device off and pull out the mains plug.
Clean the device of dust and chippings to remove the
blockage.

12. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions. The customer's
mains connection as well as the extension cable
used must also comply with these regulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Pressure points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
