A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur. -8-G8691 Wood Lathe w/ Stand SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY Beginning Assembly Most of your Model G8691 Wood Lathe has been assembled at the factory, but some parts must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order presented here. TOOLS REQUIRED: A metric socket set, 6" adjustable wrench, and Phillips® head screw driver. All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge (called “flashing”) on them after they are formed. This is removed at the factory. Sometimes, though, a bit of flashing might escape inspection. Please examine the edges of all die-cut metal parts before handling them. Serious injury may occur. Stand The stand consists of 8 pieces; 4 legs and 4 stabilizer bars. With the included bolts, washers and nuts, assemble the 4 stabilizer bars to each of the 4 legs, being certain not to fully tighten the assembly at this time. With the stand pieces together, use a bench or stand to place the lathe unit upside down as shown in Figure 2. Attach each of the 4 legs to the base of the lathe unit, making sure that the bolts are tight. Tighten the remaining bolts located at each of the stabilizer ends. Turn the lathe and stand right-side up and check to see if the lathe bed is parallel to the ground. Loosen and adjust the stand bolts accordingly until the lathe is level. Be careful not to loosen the bolts too much as the lathe may tip over. Make sure that all the bolts are securely tightened before continuing. Figure 3. Tool Rest The tool rest is equipped with a horizontal and a vertical adjustment lever. By loosening the levers, the tool rest can be precisely placed along the workpiece for safe and efficient removal of wood stock. Tailstock The Model G8691 is supplied with a #2 Morse Taper live center. The tailstock can be adjusted along the length of the lathe bed to accommodate various lengths of wood stock. There are two ways to adjust the tailstock. The bolt located under the lathe bed can be loosened, allowing the tailstock to slide up and down the length of the lathe bed. The hand wheel can also be loosened allowing the threaded spindle to move back and forth in the tailstock. Figure 4. G8691 Wood Lathe w/ Stand -9 ASSEMBLY, CONT. Figure 4. Figure 5. It is important to make sure the spur center and live center are lined up with one another. The easiest way to accomplish this is to make sure the tailstock “footprint” is centered over the width of the lathe bed. Loosen the bolt holding the tail- stock secure to lathe bed and adjust the assembly until alignment is achieved, then tighten securely. Make sure the live center in the tailstock lines up with the spur center in the headstock before turning anything between the centers. Failure to observe this step could result in the workpiece being thrown from the lathe. Serious personal injury could occur if care is not taken. Spur Center The Model G8691 is supplied with a #2 Morse Taper spur center for use when spindle turning. The spur center is used in conjunction with the tailstock live center. Before installing the spur center, thread spindle nut onto shaft and lightly tighten nut. Then insert the spur center into the hole in the spindle end. To remove the spur center, use the supplied open end wrench and an adjustable wrench to thread the spindle nut off along with the spur center. Figure 5. Faceplate The faceplate is used for turning plates and bowls. To install the faceplate, remove the spur center. Using the supplied open-end wrench to hold the spindle, thread the faceplate onto the spindle threads. Tighten securely with fingers and use the mounting holes on the faceplate to attach wood stock. Figure 6. Figure 6. -10-G8691 Wood Lathe w/ Stand SECTION 5: OPERATIONS Test Run Once assembly is complete and adjustments are made to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine. Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your finger is poised on the STOP button, just in case there’s a problem. The lathe should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and corrected before operating the machine further. If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our service department for help. Spindle Turning To mount a workpiece between centers: 1. Locate the center point on both ends of the workpiece by carefully drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner. The point of intersection should be at the center of the work. 2. When turning stock with a diameter greater than 2", remove the corner length edges with a hand plane or use a similar operation. 3. Hold the spindle vertically and support it on a solid surface. Line up the spur center with the center of the workpiece. Drive the spur center into the stock about 1.4" using a dead blow hammer. Be careful ...
