8. Attachment and operation
m Warning! Risk of injury!
Prepare the workplace where you intend to place the
electrical power tool. Provide enough space to ensure
safe and trouble-free operation. The power tool is de-
signed for working in enclosed rooms and has to be
installed on level and firm ground.
m Important! Pull out the power plug before car-
rying out any maintenance, resetting or assembly
work on the device!
Fixation of the machine (Fig. 1)
Before operation, the device must be screwed to a
workbench, undercarriage or similar. Use the slotted
holes (A) for this purpose.
Installing the tool rest (Fig. 1; 4;)
1.
Plug the tool rest (6) into the hole in the tool sup-
port (5).
2.
Fasten the tool rest (6) at the desired height using
the locking screw (13).
Setting the tool rest (Fig. 1; 4)
1.
The height of the tool rest (6) can be set by loosen-
ing the locking screw (13).
2.
In order to set the length of the tool rest (6), loos-
en the clamping lever for tool rest (14). The tool
rest (6) must be driven as close as possible to the
workpiece without touching it.
3.
Retighten the clamping lever for the tool rest (14).
Adjustment of the tailstock (Fig. 1; 5)
1.
Loosen the clamping lever (11) for the tailstock (9)
in order to set the distance between the tailstock
(9) and the headstock drive centre (4).
2.
To adjust the clamping pressure use the handwheel
(10) and secure it with the counternut (8).
Warning! Make sure that the tool rest (6) is tight-
ened securely and cannot turn in towards the
workpiece.
Tensioning and releasing the tailstock clamp (fig. 6)
To fix the tailstock in the desired position, proceed as
follows:
1.
Move the tension lever (11) in the lower position,
from right to left, until it stops.
2.
Lift the tension lever (11) and move it in the oppo-
site direction as far as it will go.

3.
Repeat this process 4-7 times until the tailstock is
securely fixed.
To loosen the tailstock, please proceed in reverse or-
der.
Securing the workpiece on the headstock drive
centre (Fig. 1)
1.
Locate the centre of the workpiece by accurately
drawing diagonal lines on each end. The intersec-
tion point of these two lines will indicate the centre
of the workpiece.
2.
At the end of the workpiece, produce an approx.
2 mm deep saw cut along the diagonal, in order to
receive the headstock drive centre (4).
3.
Use a wood mallet (not supplied) to drive the head-
stock drive centre (4) into the point where the di-
agonal cuts across the end of the workpiece. Take
care to protect the threaded end of the headstock
drive centre (4) so that no object damages the
thread.
4.
Cut the corners off the workpiece if the diameter
of the ends is greater than 5 cm x 5 cm to make
turning easier and safer.
5.
Measure the combined total length of the work-
piece with the headstock drive centre (4) and cen-
tering pin (7) on each end.
6.
Loosen the clamping lever for the tailstock (9) and
set the distance between the headstock drive cen-
tre (4) and the centring pin (7), such that a slightly
greater distance is obtained than the measured
total length of the workpiece.
7.
Tightly screw the headstock drive centre (4) with
workpiece onto the centering pin (7) by the hand
wheel (10).
8.
Once positioned fasten the counternut (8) against
the tail stock (9).
9.
Set the tool support (5) with tool rest (6) approx. 3
mm away from the workpiece.
Caution: Before starting the machine test the set-
up by rotating the workpiece by hand to ensure
that there is enough clearance all the way around
and that it does not come into contact with the tool
support (6).
Using the face plate: (Fig. 3)
To use the faceplate:
• The faceplate (15) offers solid and secure support
for a variety of turned objects such as platters,
bowls, pots and round pieces.
