Marking of the workpiece
Sometimes the workpiece has to be taken out before
it has been completed. It is advantageous to mark the
workpiece and the driver with a pencil first.
When placing the workpiece back in the machine, match
the marks on the workpiece and the driver.
Specialized literature
Specialized shops offer appropriate specialized literature
about wood turning. They can be a great help for begin-
ners in their work as well as a source of ideas for experts.
m Electrical connection
The installed electric motor is completely wired ready for
operation.
The customer's connection to the power supply system,
and any extension cables that may be used, must con-
form with local regulations.
Important remark:
The motor is automatically switched off in the event of
an overload. The motor can be switched on again after a
cooling down period that can vary.
Defective electrical connection cables
Electrical connection cables often suffer insulation dam-
age.
Possible causes are:
• Pinch points when connection cables are run through
window or door gaps.
• Kinks resulting from incorrect attachment or laying of
the connection cable.
• Cuts resulting from running over the connecting cable.
• Insulation damage resulting from forcefully pulling out
of the wall socket.
• Cracks through aging of insulation.
Such defective electrical connection cables must not be
used as the insulation damage makes them extremely
hazardous.
Check electrical connection cables regularly for dam-
age. Make sure the cable is disconnected from the mains
when checking.

Single-phase motor
• The mains voltage must coincide with the voltage
specified on the motor's rating plate.
• Extension cables up to a length of 25 m must have a
cross-section of 1.5 mm
2.5 mm2.
• The connection to the mains must be protected with a
16 A slow-acting fuse.
Only a qualified electrician is permitted to connect the
machine and complete repairs on its electrical equip-
ment.
In the event of enquiries please specify the following
data:
• Motor manufacturer
• Type of current of the motor
• Data recorded on the machine's rating plate
• Data recorded on the switch's rating plate
If a motor has to be returned, it must always be dis-
patched with the complete driving unit and switch.
m Maintenance
• Overhauls, maintenance work, cleaning, as well as the
elimination of any malfunctions must only be under-
taken after turning off the motor.
• All protective and safety equipment must be reinstalled
immediately upon completion of any repair or mainte-
nance work.
• Clean and lightly oil the spindle thread of the tool hold-
er when changing tools.
• When possible, the tail stock sleeve should be removed
by unscrewing it, cleaned and then sprayed with a dry
lubricant. Grease the threaded spindle.
• Check the eccentric clamp of the tailstock as well as
the tool holder and adjust if necessary. In addition,
tighten the hex nut under the bracket.
• Check the drive belt and replace when necessary.
