• Any functional disorders, especially those affecting
the safety of the machine, sholud terefore be recti-
fied immediately.
• The scheppach wood turner has been constructed
exclusively for use with wood.
• Any other use exceeds authorization. The manufac-
turer is not responsible for any damages resulting
from unauthorized use; risk is the sole responsibility
of the operator.
• The safety, work and maintenance instructions of
the manufacturer as well as the technical data given
in the calibrations and dimensions must be adhered
to.
• Relevant accident prevention regulations and other,
generally recognized safety-technical rules must
also be adhered to.
• The machine may only be used, maintained, and
operated by persons familiar with it and instructed in
its operation and procedures. Arbitrary alterations
to the machine release the manufacturer from all re-
sponsibility for any resulting damages.
• The machine may only be used with original acces-
sories and tools made by the manufacturer.
Please note that our equipment has not been de-
signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial appli-
cations. Our warranty will be voided if the equipment
is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses
or for equivalent purposes.
m Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern tech-
nology in accordance with recognized safety
rules. Some remaining hazards, however, may
still exist.
• Only process selected woods without defects such
as: Branch knots, edge cracks, surface cracks.
Wood with such defects is prone to splintering and
hazardous.
• Wood which is not correctly glued can explode
when being processed due to centrifugal force.
• Trim work piece to a rectangular shape, center and
correctly secure before processing. Unbalanced
work pieces can be hazardous.
• Injuries can occur when feeding work pieces if tool
supports are not correctly adjusted or if turning tools
are blunt. Sharp turning tools which are free of de-
fects are necessary for professional turning.
• Long hair and loose clothing can be hazardous
when the work piece is rotating. Wear personal pro-
tective gear such as a hair net and tight fitting work
clothes.
• Saw dust and wood chips can be hazardous. Wear
pesonal protective gear such as safety goggles and
a dust mask.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can
lead to injuries caused by electricity.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some re-
maining hazards which are not yet evident may still
be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following
the instructions in „Safety Precautions", „Proper
Use" and in the entire operating manual.

Assembly (Fig. 2 – 5)
Your drilling machine is subassembled for technical
reasons involved with packaging.
Fig. 2 Slightly screw the frame feet in pairs with the
•
upper frame angle (each 3 neck bolts M8 x 12 with
washer and nut), put on sole plates.
Fig. 3 Screw the bottom chassis with the frame feet
•
also only hand-tight (each 2 neck bolts M8 x 12 with
washer and nut).
Place the frame on an even surface.
•
Fig. 4 Place the drilling machine onto the frame and
•
firmly screw with the 8 Allen screws ;8 x 35, with
spring washer and nut.
Finally tighten all the screws of the frame firmly.
•
Fig. 5 Insert the switch from inside into the frame
•
foot and screw on with the Phillips head screw M4
with washer and nut.
Start-up
Observe the safety notes in the operating instruc-
tions before operating the machine.
Remove the tensioning spindle or the chuck from
the spindle in addition to any step-up tools before
first operating the machine!
Reversing switch, Fig. 6
Your turning machine is equipped witha reversing
switch. The motor is always switched on and off using
the operating switch. I = green; 0 = red.
The reversing switch is merely a selector for the direc-
tion of rotation. You can change the direction of rota-
tion from anticlockwise
require.
Note: The speed setting can only be done when en-
gine is running.
For safety reasons, it is not possible to switch directly
from anticlockwise to clockwise when the motor is
running. When the reversing switch is in 0-position it
switches the motor off, which must be switched back
on using the green switch.
Speed adjustment Fig. 7
The speed can only be adjusted during work.
The correct number of revolutions is visible on the
speed diagram located on the headstock. The speed
diagram is intended for medium-hard dry woods.
The appropriate speed is based on various factors
such as:
• type and compostion of woods
• seasoned, dry woods
• diameter and length of workpieces
• squared or unbalanced woods
• width of pre-worked, balanced workpieces
• wood turner tools and technique
• workpieces out of glued wood
Successful wood turning does not result from high
speeds, but rather, from correct use of the machine.
