Anleitung Zusammenfassung
10.Always keep a firm hold on and maintain control of the cutting tool. 11.If you are uncertain about the optimal speed, it is better to start with the slowest RPM and increase your speed as your comfort with the tool and the work piece increases. 12.Never force the tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. It is designed to do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. REMOVING THE SPUR AND CUP CENTERS 1. Insert a pin into the Spindle (#28) hole and turn the hex nut counterclockwise with a wrench until the Spur Center (#30) is ejected. 2. Turn the Hand Wheel (#63) counterclockwise until the Cup Center (#46) can be removed. -4- G9247 Mini Wood Lathe CONTROL PANEL OPERATION The Control Panel consists of ON/OFF buttons, fuse access, and a Variable Speed Knob (#20). To turn the lathe on, push up on the Red button. To turn the lathe off, Press down the Red button. The Variable Speed Knob can be adjusted from 0 to 4500 RPM. To access the fuse, use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the fuse cover. TURNING BETWEEN CENTERS 1. It is suggested that you start with a small work piece for practicing wood lathe operation. Select a 2" x 2" piece of wood (8” long). Draw diagonal lines on each end to locate the center. Place the center point of one end of the wood on the Cup Center (#46). Place a piece of wood on the end of the Cup Center for protection, and using a wooden mallet, drive the Cup Center into the wood. Remove the Cup Center and drive the Spur Center (#30) into the other end of the workpiece. Remove the Spur Center. 2. Insert the Spur Center into the Headstock Casting (#26), and the Cup Center into the Tailstock Casting (#59), and tap them lightly with a piece of wood. Place your workpiece between the Spur Center and the Cup Center, and lock the Tailstock. 3. Move the Cup Center into the workpiece by turning the Head Wheel (#63). Make sure that the Spur Center and the Cup Center are holding the workpiece in the end center points marked above. 4. Adjust the Tool Rest (#40) so that the top of the Tool Rest is 1/8" away from the corners of the work- piece and 1/8" above the centerline of the workpiece. Rotate the workpiece by hand to make sure no portion of the workpiece touches the Tool Rest. 5. Before turning on the Mini Wood Lathe, put the Speed Control Knob in position “0”. Turn the Red button to start the lathe and slowly rotate the Speed Control Knob clockwise to increase the Spindle speed. If you are uncertain about the optimal spindle speed, it is better to start with the slowest RPM and increase the speed as your comfort with the lathe and the workpiece increases. 6. Positioning the Tool Rest for cutting: When cutting, the object is to pierce the outer skin of the workpiece to a certain designed depth, then hold the cutting tool steady with the beveled edge parallel to the work circumference. In this manner, the cutting tool will shove the workpiece at the desired depth. The best way to hold the cutting tool steady is to rest it on the Tool Rest. The Tool Rest will act as a fulcrum point to support the cutting tool against the downward force of the revolving workpiece. Operation of this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). G9247 Mini Wood Lathe -5 A Tool Rest which is placed too low will result in the cutting edge continuing to dig deeper into the work- piece, result in a “bite” so deep that the cutting tool will begin to bounce and chatter and become very difficult to hold safely. If the Tool Rest is placed too high and the cutting tool hits the workpiece near to top (where the direction of force exerted by the workpiece is nearly horizontal), a strong and dangerous kickback will occur. If the Tool Rest is placed too far away from the workpiece, the cutting tool will again hit too high on the workpiece. Leverage will be reduced and it will be very difficult to safely hold the cutting tool. As a general rule, with small diameter workpiece the Tool Rest should be positioned very close to the workpiece (1/8"). FACEPLATE TURNING Faceplate turning is primarily used in the making of bowls and in working with other bowl shaped or similar items. Initially, make certain that you have removed as much waste material from the inside and the outside of the work piece by using hand tools. The workpiece is to be held to the Faceplate (#31) with wood screws (sold separately). Use screws that will drive about half-way through the bottom of the workpiece. Position the Tool Rest so that you can shape the outside of the workpiece as desired. Once outside work has been completed, the Tool Rest can be moved and adjusted (make certain the lathe i...
