WARNING
Read and understand owner’s manual before operating pen lathe.
This lathe is designed to turn wood or wood-like products only. Working with other materials could result
in fire, injury, or damage to the workpiece.
Tighten all locks before operating.
Remove loose wrenches, adjusting tools, cleaning rags from the tool before turning it on.
Do not use tool in a damp or wet location, or expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
Don’t force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For runs up
to 25 feet, use an 18 AWG or larger gauge cord.
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Always use safety glasses. (Normal eyeglasses are only impact resistant; they are NOT safety glasses.)
Also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Disconnect tool before servicing or when changing accessories.
Do not operate the tool while under the influence of drugs or acohol.
Health hazards. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
* Lead from lead-based paint.
* Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
* Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Electrical Requirements
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The JPL-358 Pen Lathe is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.*
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one in illustration A of Figure 1. The
tool has a grounding plug like the grounding plug in illustration A. A temporary adapter, which looks like
the adapter in illustration B, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in
illustration B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.** The temporary adapter should only be used
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear or
tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to be certified SJT type or better.
** Use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.

Receiving
1. Remove contents from the box.
2. Inspect contents for shipping damage and report
damage, if any, to your distributor.
3. Be sure to keep the box and packing material
should you need to pack the lathe for moving.
4. Do not clean the lathe with anything other than a
damp cloth or a mild solvent. Use of heavy
solvents, paint thinner, gasoline, etc. will
damage painted surfaces.

Assembly
The JPL-358 is fully assembled and comes ready to
use right out of the box. However, it is good practice
to thoroughly check the tool for loose fasteners,
handles, etc. before use.
Four holes are provided in the base of the lathe for
bolting it to a table.
Adjustments
Tailstock
Turn handwheel (A, Fig. 3) clockwise to move
tailstock spindle forward; counterclockwise to retract
tailstock spindle. To lock the spindle, use the lever
(B, Fig. 3).
Loosen the tailstock with the attached wrench (C,
Fig. 3) and slide tailstock to desired position. Re-
tighten with wrench.

Tool Rest
Position the tool rest as close to the workpiece as
possible. It should be slightly above the center line
of the workpiece.
Loosen the tool rest with the attached wrench (D,
fig. 4) and slide tool rest to desired position. Re-
tighten with wrench when finished with adjustment.
Adjust the height of the tool rest by loosening the
lever (E, Fig. 4). Tighten the lever when finished
adjusting. NOTE: The lever is spring loaded; simply
pull up on it, rotate it on the pin, and release.
Switch Safety Feature
When the switch is in “off” position, a part of the
switch can be pulled out (Fig. 5) to prevent
accidental starting of the lathe. The piece must be
re-inserted before operating the lathe.
Belt Tension
1. To adjust tension of the drive belt, open the
cover by turning the knob (A, Fig. 6) clockwise.
2. Loosen the screw (C, Fig. 6) using a hex
wrench.
3. Slide the bearing (B, Fig. 6) left to increase
tension, right to decrease tension.
Belt Replacement
1. To replace the drive belt, open the cover by
turning the knob (A, Fig. 6) clockwise.
2. Loosen the screw (C, Fig. 6) using a hex wrench
and slide the bearing (B, Fig. 6) to the right.
3. Remove the old belt and install new one around
the pulleys.
4. Re-tension the belt and close the cover.

Installing & Removing Live Center
1. Clean the tapered shank of the live center (A,
Fig. 7) and the inside of the quill (B, Fig. 7) on
the tailstock.
CAUTION
Failure to clean the live center and quill can
result in separation of the two, which can result
in damage to the workpiece and possible injury.
2. Install live center into the tailstock.
3. To remove the live center, loosen lever (C, Fig.
7), and turn handwheel (D, Fig. 7) counter-
clockwise until the live center ejects from the
quill.
Installing & Removing Spur Center
1. Clean the shank of the spur center (A, Fig. 8)
and the inside of the headstock spindle (B, Fig.
8).
CAUTION
Failure to clean the spur center and spindle can
result in separation of the two, which can result
in damage to the workpiece and possible injury.
2. Insert the spur center into the spindle.
3. To remove the spur center, insert the knockout
rod (C, Fig. 9) through the hole as shown and
push out the spindle. NOTE: Use your other
hand to catch the spindle as it falls, to prevent
damage to the tip.

Installing Pen Mandrel
Screw the mandrel (A, Fig. 10) into the threads in
the headstock spindle and place the other end on
the tip of the live center of the tailstock as shown.
The barrel(s) of a pen can be placed between
bushings, and held snug on the mandrel by the
knurled nut (B, Fig. 10).
If you are new to the practice of pen turning, a book
entitled “Pens from the Wood Lathe” (stock #
709123) will demonstrate techniques and tips on
turning, and is available from WMH Tool Group.
Complete supplies for pen turning are also offered –
