Resumen del manual
Bolting to Concrete Floors Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs (Figure 5) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application. NOTICE Anchor studs are stronger and more permanent alter- natives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine at a later point. Using Machine Feet Using machine feet, shown in Figure 6, gives the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduction. The large size of the foot pads distributes the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the floor. Figure 5. Typical fasteners for mounting to concrete floors. Assembly To assemble your lathe, do these steps: 1. Stand the right and left legs upright approximately 41" apart, and get them reasonably aligned, as shown in Figure 7. 2. Using the help of assistants, carefully lift the lathe onto the stands and align the mounting holes. Note: The headstock end is the heaviest and usually requires two people lifting at that end. Figure 6. Machine foot example. Figure 7. Legs approximately 41" apart. -12 W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10) 3. Using the 6mm hex wrench, secure the lathe to the legs with the eight cap screws and lock washers, as shown in Figure 8. 4. Install the handle into the tool rest, as shown in Figure 9. 5. Align the quill keyway with the entry hole of the quill lock lever (see Figure 10), then install the lever into the tailstock so that the end of it mates with the quill keyway. Note: Make sure the dog-end of the lock lever fits into the quill keyway so that the quill can move in and out of the tailstock without rotating. To safely secure a center in the tailstock quill, the quill locking lever must be aligned with the quill keyway and fully tightened. Failure to follow this procedure could result in the spinning workpiece or center being thrown from the lathe, causing death or serious personal injury. 6. Secure the digital readout to the top of the headstock, as shown in Figure 11. Figure 8. Securing lathe to legs. Figure 9. Installing tool rest handle. Figure 10. Quill locking lever installed.

Since 3/10) Test Run SETUP Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the switch disabling mechanism works correctly. If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review Troubleshooting on Page 30. If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance. To test run the machine, do these steps: 1. Make sure you understand the safety instructions at the beginning of the manual and that the machine is setup properly. 2. Make sure all tools and objects used during setup are cleared away from the machine. 3. Connect the machine to the power source. 4. Turn the lathe ON by lifting up on the ON/OFF switch, and verify that it operates correctly. — When operating correctly, the machine runs smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. — Investigate and correct strange or unusual noises or vibrations before operating the machine further. Always disconnect the machine from power when investigating or correcting potential problems. 5. Turn the machine OFF by pushing down on the ON/ OFF switch. 6. Remove the switch disabling key (see Figure 12). 7. Try to start the machine with the switch. — If the machine does not start, the switch disabling feature is working as designed. — If the machine starts, immediately stop the machine. The switch disabling feature is not working correctly. Call Tech Support for help. Tie back long hair, roll up long sleeves, and remove loose clothing, jewelry, or gloves to prevent getting caught in moving parts. Figure 12.

Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing any operation, stop using the machine! If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recommend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training from an experienced wood lathe operator before performing any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety should come first! READ and understand this entire instruc- ...
