result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper
operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage
to the machinery.
NOTICE
Standard Safety Instructions
1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious
injury hazards to untrained users.
2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye-
glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.
3. ALWAYS WEAR AN NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES
DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.
4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause
permanent hearing damage.
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip
footwear.
6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.
7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make
sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work
area.
9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power off and allow all moving parts to come to
a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.
11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations, or
where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.
12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.
13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords over-
heat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension cords
for 220V machinery.
14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is
in OFF position before reconnecting.
15. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.
16. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting wrench-
es before turning machinery ON.
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of
parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine
operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.
18. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
19. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.
20. SECURE WORKPIECE. Always secure the workpiece with the use of hold-downs, miter gauge, or
fence. Use jigs or fixtures when possible. A secured workpiece reduces the risk of kickback.
21. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
22. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid condi-
tions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."
23. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.
24. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAzARDOUS to the respiratory systems of people and
animals, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the type of dust you
will be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

Additional Safety for Wood Lathes
READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this lathe.
Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and fol-
lowed. DO NOT risk your
safety by not reading!
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.
1. EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Always wear an approved face shield when operating this lathe.
2. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. Always wear a respirator rated for wood dust when using this lathe.
Wood dust may cause allergies or long-term respiratory health problems.
3. MOUNTING WORKPIECE. Before starting the lathe, be certain the workpiece has been properly
embedded on the headstock and tailstock centers or faceplate, and that there is adequate clearance
for full rotation of the workpiece.
4. ADJUSTING TOOL REST. Adjust tool rest to provide proper support for the turning tool in use. Test
tool rest clearance by rotating workpiece by hand before starting lathe.
5. TURNING SPEED. Select the correct turning speed for your operation, and allow the lathe to gain the
desired speed before applying turning tool.
6. USING SHARP CHISELS. Keep lathe chisels properly sharpened and held firmly in position against the
tool rest when using.
7. OPERATING DAMAGED LATHE. Never operate the lathe with damaged or worn parts.
8. ADJUSTMENT/MAINTENANCE. Make sure lathe is disconnected from power and the spindle has come
to a complete stop before starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedures.
9. STOPPING LATHE. DO NOT attempt to stop the lathe by using your hand against the workpiece, face
plate, or spindle. Allow the lathe to stop on its own.
10. AVOID ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long hair and loose clothing, belts, jewelry away from lathe during
operation. Tie back long hair and button long sleeves. DO NOT wear gloves during lathe operations.
11. FACEPLATE TURNING. When faceplate turning, use lathe chisels on the downward spinning side of
the workpiece only.
12. OUTBOARD TURNING. Always use the tool rest and extension to safely support turning tools when
doing outboard turning. If the provided tool rest assembly will not safely reach the workpiece, use a
free-standing tool rest. Never use the lathe without proper turning tool rest support.
13. WORKPIECE CONDITION. DO NOT turn stock with knots, splits, and other potentially dangerous condi-
tions. Make sure glue joints have high quality bonds and will not fly apart during lathe operation.

Machine Placement
Cleaning Machine
•
•
Floor Load: This lathe distributes a heavy
load in a small footprint. Some residential
floors may require additional bracing to
support both machine and operator.
The table and other unpainted parts of your
machine type are coated with a waxy grease
that protects them from corrosion during ship-
ment. Clean this grease off with a solvent clean-
er or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlo-
rine-based solvents such as brake parts cleaner
or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your wood lathe.
NEVER clean with gasoline
or other petroleum-
based solvents. Most have
low flash points, which
make them extremely
flammable. A risk of
explosion and burning
exists if these products
are used. Serious personal
injury may occur if this
warning is ignored!
•
•
Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
Electrical: Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.
ALWAYS work in well-
ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.
USE helpers or power lift-
ing equipment to lift this
lathe. Otherwise, seri-
ous personal injury may
occur.
MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to youngsters by closing
and locking all entrances
when you are away. NEVER
allow untrained visitors in
your shop when assem-
bling, adjusting or operat-
ing equipment.

W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
Mounting to Shop Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you mount
your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional
step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hard-
ware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt
your machine to the floor or mount it on machine feet.
Both options are described below. Whichever option you
choose it will be necessary to use a precision level to
level your machine.
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.
Figure 5. Typical fasteners for mounting
to concrete floors.
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 advan-
tage 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 6. Machine foot example.
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 7. Legs approximately 41" apart.

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.
Figure 8. Securing lathe to legs.
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.

Selecting Turning Tools
Lathe chisels come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and
usually fall into five major categories. See Figures 22–25
for some examples.
Gouges: Mainly used for rough cutting, detail cutting, and
cove profiles. The rough gouge is a hollow, double-ground
tool with a round nose, and the detail gouge is a hollow,
double-ground tool with either a round or pointed nose.
Skew Chisels: A very versatile tool that can be used for
planing, squaring, V-cutting, beading, and parting off. The
skew chisel is flat, double-ground with one side higher
than the other—usually at an angle of 20°–40°.
Figure 22. Example of a gouge.
Scrapers: Typically used where access for other tools is
limited, such as hollowing operations. This is a flat, dou-
ble-ground tool that comes in a variety of profiles (round
nose, spear point, square nose, etc.) to match many dif-
ferent contours.
Parting Tools: Used for sizing and cutting off work. This
is a flat tool with a sharp pointed nose that may be single
or double-ground.
Figure 23. Example of a skew chisel.
Specialty Tools: These unique, special function tools aid
in hollowing, bowl making, cutting profiles, etc.
Refer to Accessories on Page 26 for examples of recom-
mended wood chisels.

Spindle Turning
W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
Spindle Turning
Spindle turning is the operation performed when a
workpiece is mounted between the headstock and
tailstock centers (see Figure 26).
Before beginning any turning operation, make sure
the headstock and tailstock centers are properly
aligned. Refer to Aligning Headstock & Tailstock
Centers on Page 28 for instructions on this proce-
dure. Failure to heed this warning could result in
the spinning workpiece being thrown from the lathe
resulting in death or serious personal injury.
Figure 26. Typical spindle turning
operation.
To set up a spindle turning operation, do these steps:
Workpiece
1. Find the center point of both ends of your workpiece
by drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner
across the end of the workpiece (see Figure 27).
Pencil Lines

4. To help embed the spur center into the workpiece,
cut 1⁄8" deep saw kerfs into the same workpiece end
along the diagonal lines marked in Step 1.
5. If your workpiece is over 2" x 2", cut the corners off
the workpiece length-wise to make turning the cor-
ners safer and easier.

11. Position the tool rest approximately 1⁄4" away from
the workpiece, and approximately 1⁄8" above the
workpiece center line (see Figure 29).
DO NOT press the workpiece too
firmly with the tailstock center or
the bearings will bind and over-
heat. Likewise, DO NOT leave the
workpiece too loose or the workpiece
will spin off the lathe. Use good rea-
son and care, otherwise, serious per-
sonal injury could result.
12. Before turning the lathe ON, rotate the workpiece
by hand to ensure that there is safe clearance on all
sides.
Spindle Turning Safety Tips:
•
When turning the lathe ON, stand away from the
vertical path of the spinning workpiece until the
lathe reaches full speed and you can verify that the
lathe will not throw the workpiece.
•
•
Use the slowest speed when starting the lathe.
Always keep the turning tool rest-
ing on the tool rest when preparing
to make contact with the workpiece
and when it is in contact with the
workpiece. Otherwise, the spin-
ning workpiece could force the tool
towards you at a high rate of speed,
or entangle your hands with the mov-
ing workpiece. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Select the right speed for the size of the workpiece
you are turning:
— Use the slower speeds for large workpieces of
diameters of 4" and over, and for rough cutting.
— Use the middle range speeds for workpiece diam-
eters of 2–4".
— Use the faster speeds for workpieces under 2", and
for finish turning.
•
•
Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the ENTIRE
time that it is approaching the workpiece and it is in
contact the workpiece.
Learn the correct techniques for each tool you will
use. If you are unsure about how to use the lathe
tools, read books or magazines about lathe tech-
niques, and seek training from experienced and
knowledgeable lathe users.

Faceplate Turning
W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
Faceplate Turning
Faceplate turning is when a workpiece is mounted to the
faceplate that, in turn, is secured to the headstock spin-
dle. This type of turning is usually done with open-faced
workpieces like bowls or plates (see Figure 30).
To mount the workpiece onto the faceplate, do these
steps:
1. Mark the center of the workpiece back, as in Spindle
Turning on Page 22.
Figure 30. Typical faceplate turning
operation.
Note: Cut off the excess corners of the workpiece to
make it as close to "round" as possible.
2. Use the mark made from Step 1 to center the face-
plate on the workpiece back, and attach it with
wood screws that do not have tapered heads (see
Figures 31 & 32).
3. Thread and secure the faceplate onto the headstock
spindle (refer to Installing Faceplate on Page 20 for
detailed instructions).
If wood screws cannot be placed in the workpiece, then
the faceplate can be mounted to a backing block that is
securely glued to the workpiece.
Figure 31. Typical attachment of
faceplate to workpiece (shown with
backing block).
To mount your workpiece to a backing block, do these
steps:
Correct
Incorrect
1. Make the backing block from a piece of scrap wood
that is flat on both sides, and is free of knots and
splits.
2. Locate and mark the center of both the workpiece
and the backing block.
Figure 32. Correct and incorrect
screw types for mounting faceplate to
workpiece.
3. Drill a 1⁄4" hole completely through the backing block
at its center.
4. Looking through the hole in the backing block to line
it up with the center of the workpiece, glue and
clamp the backing block to the workpiece.
NOTICE
Only use tap screws or wood screws with
non-tapered heads (see Figure 32) to
attach the faceplate to the workpiece.
DO NOT use drywall screws or screws
with tapered heads because they can
split the faceplate, or the screws may
snap off during lathe operation.
Note: Allow the glue joint to completely cure
according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Outboard Turning
Outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turning and
is usually done when stock diameter is greater than 12".
For the size of the Model W1758 and its minimum turn-
ing speed, we recommend not exceeding a maximum
workpiece diameter of 17".
Figure 33 depicts the lathe setup at 90° and using the
provided tool rest extension. Figure 34 shows the head-
stock setup for outboard turning at 180°.
Figure 33. Headstock positioned outboard
It is important for safety and performance to use the pro-
vided tool rest extension in a manner that will offer the
greatest stability and range for your turning tool. If this
tool rest assembly will not work for your operation, you
must use a free-standing tool rest (not supplied).
at 90°.
Sanding/Finishing Using
the Lathe
The lathe can be used for finishing procedures after the
turning operations are complete, such as sanding, polish-
ing, and applying finishes by hand (see Figure 35).
Figure 34. Headstock positioned outboard
at 180°.
Note: Whenever performing finishing procedures to your
workpiece, remove the tool rest to avoid entanglement.
Use the slowest speeds for safer control and better
results.
Sandpaper
Wrapping sandpaper or other
finishing materials completely
around the workpiece could
pull your hands into the spin-
ning workpiece and cause
personal injury. Never wrap
anything completely around
the spinning workpiece.

MAINTENANCE
General
Regular periodic maintenance on your machine will
ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of
inspecting your machine each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:
•
•
•
•
•
Loose mounting bolts.
Worn switch.
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
Damaged V-belt.
Any other condition that could hamper the safe
operation of this machine.
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance pro-
cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
Lubrication
Cleaning
Since all bearings for the Model W1758 are
sealed and permanently lubricated, simply
leave them alone until they need to be
replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Cleaning the Model W1758 is relatively easy. Vacuum
excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remain-
ing dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a
resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Wipe a lightly oiled shop rag on the outside
of the headstock spindle. DO NOT allow any
oil to get on the inside mating surface of
the spindle.
Remove any debris or oily substances from the inside of
the spindle and quill.
Use the quill handwheel to extend the
tailstock quill all the way out, and apply
a thin coat of white lithium grease to the
outside of the quill. DO NOT allow any
lubricant to get on the inside mating sur-
face of the quill.
Lathe Bed
Protect the unpainted cast iron lathe bed by wiping it
clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood
dust does not remain on the bare metal surfaces. Keep
your lathe bed rust-free with regular applications of qual-
ity lubricants.
Tailstock
To disassemble the tailstock for cleaning, loosen the set
screw above the handwheel, then completely unthread
the handwheel from the threads of the quill. Except for
the live center, thoroughly clean all of the unpainted
parts with mineral spirits and apply a thin coat of light
machine oil to these surfaces.
When re-assembling the tailstock, thread the handwheel
back onto the quill, tighten down the set screw that
secures it, then back the screw off one full turn so that
the handwheel can freely rotate.
