Manual Before Operating this Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance
of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety
messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident
prevention measures.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL 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. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about
proper operation of the machine.

Additional Safety for Wood Lathes
1. KEEPING GUARDS IN PLAcE. make sure
all doors and guards are secured in place
and that the lathe sits on a flat, stable sur-
face.
10. WORKPIEcE cONDITION. always inspect
the condition of your workpiece. do not
turn pieces with knots, splits, and other
potentially dangerous conditions. make
sure joints of glued-up pieces have high
quality bonds and will not fly apart during
operation.
2. EYE/fAcE PROTEcTION. always wear
eye protection or a face shield when operat-
ing the lathe.
11. ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANcE. make
sure your wood lathe is turned OFF, dis-
connected from its power source, and all
moving parts have come to a complete stop
before starting any inspection, adjustment,
or maintenance procedure.
3. RESPIRATORY PROTEcTION. always
wear a respirator when using this machine.
Wood dust may cause allergies or long-term
respiratory health problems.
4. MOUNTING WORKPIEcE. Before starting,
be certain the workpiece has been properly
embedded on the spindle and tailstock cen-
ters and that there is adequate clearance for
the full rotation.
12. STOPPING LATHE. do not stop the lathe
by using your hand against the workpiece.
allow the lathe to stop on its own.
13. AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep long
hair and loose clothing articles such as
sleeves, belts, and jewelry items away from
the lathe spindle.
5. ADJUSTING TOOL REST. adjust tool rest
to provide proper support for the turning tool
you will be using. test tool rest clearance by
rotating workpiece by hand before connect-
ing the lathe to power.
14. SANDING/POLISHING. remove the tool
rest when performing sanding or polishing
operations on the rotating workpiece.
6. TURNING SPEED. select the correct turn-
ing speed for your work, and allow the lathe
to gain full speed before using.
15. MATERIAL REMOVAL RATE. attempting
to remove too much material at once may
cause the workpiece to fly out of the lathe.
7. USING SHARP cHISELS. Keep lathe chis-
els properly sharpened and held firmly in
position when turning.
16. SUPPORT ROD. hold the outboard tool
rest support rod when making adjustments
to avoid serious personal injury.
8. OPERATING DAMAGED LATHE. never
operate the lathe with damaged or worn
parts.
17. PREVENTING THROWN WORKPIEcE.
make sure that lathe is in its lowest speed
when starting up. an out-of-balance
workpiece or high rpm start can eject the
workpiece.
9. fAcEPLATE TURNING. When faceplate
turning, use lathe chisels on the downward
spinning side of the workpiece only.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this lathe. Accidents are frequently
caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this lathe with respect and caution to
reduce the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.

cleanup
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoid
using these products
to clean machinery.
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative has been your machine's
close ally and guardian since it left the factory.
If your machine arrived to you free of rust, then
be thankful that the rust preventative protected
it during its journey...and try to stay thankful as
you clean it off, because it can be challenging to
remove if you are unprepared and impatient.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled.
Minimize your risk by only
using these products in a
well ventilated area.
Plan on spending some time cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this will
reward you with smooth sliding parts and a better
appreciation for the proper care of your machine's
unpainted surfaces.
NOTICE
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner that may
damage painted surfaces. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.
Although there are many ways to successfully
remove the rust preventative, these instructions
walk you through what works well for us.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
•
•
•
Disposable Rags
Cleaner/degreaser (see below)
Safety glasses & disposable gloves
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1. Put on safety glasses and disposable
gloves.
H9692—Orange Power cleaner & Degreaser
one of the best cleaners we've found for quickly
and easily removing rust preventative.
2. Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative
with a liberal amount of your cleaner/degreas-
er and let them soak for few minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily.
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preven-
tative on flat surfaces, such as tables, use
a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the
majority of the coating before wiping it off with
your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or you
may scratch your machine.)
figure 4. model h9692 industrial orange power
Cleaner/degreaser (99.9% biodegradable).
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
Note: In a pinch, automotive degreasers, mineral
spirits or WD•40 can be used to remove rust pre-
ventative. Before using these products, though,
test them on an unnoticeable area of your paint to
make sure they will not damage it.

Site considerations
Weight Load
Physical Environment
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-
piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
The physical environment where your machine
is operated is important for safe operation and
the longevity of its components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-
cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-
tenance and service described in this manual.
See below for working clearances.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device.
Lighting
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Bolting to concrete floors
Mounting to Shop
floor
anchor studs and lag shield anchors with lag bolts
(figure 8) are two popular methods for anchor-
ing 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.
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 hardware is not included.

Operation Overview
Stock Inspection &
Requirements
this overview gives you the basic process that
happens during an operation with this machine.
Familiarize yourself with this process to better
understand the remaining parts of the Operation
section.
some workpieces are not safe to turn or may
require modification before they are safe to
turn. Before turning a workpiece, inspect all
workpieces for the following:
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
•
Workpiece Type:
this machine is intended for cutting natural
and man-made wood products, and some
plastics. never attempt to cut any metal,
stone, or rubber workpiece; cutting these
materials can lead to machine damage or
severe injury.
1. examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for turning. no extreme bows, knots,
or cracks should exist.
2. prepares and trims up the workpiece in a
jointer or table saw to make it roughly con-
centric.
•
Foreign Objects:
nails, staples, dirt, rocks and other foreign
objects are often embedded in wood. While
cutting, these objects can become dislodged
and hit the operator, cause tool grab, or break
the turning tool, which might then fly apart.
always visually inspect your workpiece for
these items. if they can't be removed, do
not turn the workpiece.
3. installs the workpiece between centers.
1
4. adjusts the tool rest to within ⁄8" of the
workpiece centerline, and sets the minimum
clearance between the workpiece and the lip
1
of the tool rest to ⁄4" gap.
5. positions and locks any dust collection hoods
near the workpiece to collect wood chips, and
secures in place.
•
Large/Loose Knots:
Loose knots can become dislodged during
the turning operation. Large knots can cause
a workpiece to completely break in half dur-
ing turning and cause machine damage and
injury. Choose workpieces that do not have
large/loose knots.
6. Verifies the pulley ratio is set for the type of
wood and size of workpiece installed.
7. Verifies the spindle speed dial is turned all
the way counterclockwise so the spindle
does not start in high speed.
•
Wet or "Green" Stock:
Cutting wood with a moisture content over
20% causes unnecessary wear on tooling
blades, increases the risk of tool grab, and
yields poor results.
8. Verifies the spindle direction switch is select-
ing the correct direction.
9. Verifies the spindle lock is disengaged,
and the spindle and workpiece rotate freely
throughout the full range of motion.
•
Excessive Warping:
Workpieces with excessive bowing or twist-
ing are unstable and unbalanced. never turn
these workpieces at high speed, or instability
will be magnified and the workpiece can be
ejected from the lathe causing injury. only
turn concentric workpieces!
10. ties back loose hair and clothing and puts
on face shield and respirator. takes all other
required safety precautions.
11. starts the lathe and dust collector, adjusts the
lathe speed, and carefully begins the turning
operation, keeping the chisel against the tool
rest the entire time it is cutting.

up underneath the bed and clamps the tailstock
in place.
the tool rest holder is equipped with a cam-
action clamping system to secure it to the lathe
bed. When the tool rest holder lock lever is tight-
ened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool
rest assembly to the bed. the tool rest can also
be positioned and locked at a specific angle or
height.

When turning a workpiece where a lot of mate-
rial must be removed and a rough finish does not
matter, low range, which has more torque, is best.
When turning a workpiece where a clean finish is
required, and only light cuts are made, high range
is best. mid range is a compromise between
the two ranges. Use the speed dial to adjust the
spindle speed within each range.
Always choose the correct spindle speed
for your operation. Using the wrong speed
may lead to the workpiece breaking loose
or being thrown from the lathe at a high rate
of speed, causing fatal or severe impact
injuries.

Setting Up for Spindle Turning
Spindle Turning
1. Find the center point of both ends of your
workpiece by drawing diagonal lines from cor-
ner to corner across the end of the workpiece
(figure 31).
spindle turning is the operation performed when
a workpiece is mounted between the headstock
and the tailstock (see figure 30 for an example).

Damage to your eyes and lungs could result
from using this machine without proper pro-
tective gear. Always wear a face shield and
respirator when operating this machine.
2. Using a wood mallet and spur center, tap a
center mark into both ends of the workpiece.
3. Using a 1⁄4" drill bit, drill a 1⁄4" deep hole at the
center mark on the end of the workpiece to
be mounted on the headstock spur center.
4. to help embed the spur center into the
workpiece, cut 1⁄8" deep saw kerfs in the same
end of the workpiece along the diagonal lines
marked in Step 1.
Note: If your workpiece is over 2" x 2", cut the
corners off the workpiece lengthwise to make
turning safer and easier.
NOTICE
Always disconnect the lathe from power
before using the spindle lock feature. Never
resume turning operations without making
sure that the spindle lock is disengaged and
the spindle turns freely by hand. Otherwise
machine damage could result.

drive the spur center least ⁄4" into the end of
the workpiece (figure 32).
Do not press the workpiece too firmly with
the tailstock or the bearings will bind and
overheat. Likewise, do not adjust too loosely
or the workpiece will spin off the lathe. Use
good reason and care, otherwise, serious
personal injury could result.

Spindle Turning Safety Tips
Mounting Workpiece on faceplate
•
When turning the lathe ON, stand away from
the path of the spinning workpiece until the
lathe reaches full speed and you can verify
that the workpiece will not come loose.
1. mark the workpiece center as in Spindle
Turning (see Page 28).
Note: Cut off corners of the workpiece to
make it as close to "round" as possible.
•
•
Use the slowest speed when starting or stop-
ping the lathe.
select the right speed range and speed for
the size of the workpiece and the type of cut
(refer to Adjusting Spindle Speed on Page
25 for detailed instructions and guidelines).
NOTICE
Only use tap screws or wood screws with
non-tapered heads (figure 35) to attach the
faceplate to the workpiece. Do NOT use dry-
wall screws or screws with tapered heads,
because they can split the faceplate or snap
off during operation.
•
Learn the correct techniques for the tools you
use. if you are unsure about how to use the
lathe or any lathe tool, read books or maga-
zines about lathe techniques and seek train-
ing from experienced lathe users.
faceplate Turning
Faceplate turning is done when a workpiece is
mounted to the faceplate, which is then mounted
to the headstock spindle. this type of turning is
usually done with open-faced workpieces like
bowls or plates (see figure 34 for an example).
figure 35. Correct and incorrect screw types for
mounting faceplate to workpiece.
2. Center the faceplate on the workpiece and
attach it with wood screws that do not have
tapered heads.
3. thread and secure the faceplate onto the
headstock spindle (refer to Headstock/
faceplate on Page 24 for faceplate mount-
ing instructions).
figure 34. typical faceplate turning operation.

Using Backing Block
Outboard Turning
if wood screws cannot be placed in the workpiece,
then the faceplate can be mounted on a backing
block that is glued to the workpiece (see figure
36 for an example).
Keep the lathe chisel against the tool rest the
ENTIRE time you are cutting or when feeding
the chisel into the workpiece. Otherwise, the
spinning workpiece could knock the chisel
out of your hands or pull your hands into
the workpiece, resulting in serious entangle-
ment or impact injuries.
When the workpiece is larger than 20" in diam-
eter, mount it on the outboard side of the lathe.
to do this, swap the faceplate and handwheel
positions as shown in figure 37 (refer to Installing
faceplate/Handwheel on Page 24 for detailed
instructions).

side of the headstock.
To mount your workpiece to a backing block:
1. make the backing block from a piece of scrap
wood that is flat on both sides.
2. Locate and mark the center of both the
workpiece and backing block.
3. drill a 1⁄4" hole through the center of the back-
ing block.

as well, you must use the outboard tool rest (refer
to Outboard Tool Rest on Page 21 for detailed
instructions).
Note: Allow the glue to cure according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
5. attach the faceplate as detailed in the previ-
ous subsection.
When outboard turning, rotate the workpiece
by hand before connecting the machine to
power to make sure that it will not come
in contact with any obstacle. Otherwise,
it could break apart during operation and
cause serious impact injuries.

Sanding/finishing
after the turning operations are complete, the
workpiece can be sanded and finished before
removing it from the lathe (see figure 38 for an
example).

General Lubrication
an essential part of lubrication maintenance
is cleaning the components before lubricating
them.
this step is critical because dust and chips build
up on lubricated components, which makes them
hard to move. simply adding more grease to built-
up grime will not result in smooth moving parts.
Clean the components in this section with mineral
spirits and relubricate them.
the following are the main components that need
to be lubricated:
•
•
•
•
tailstock
inboard toolrest
outboard toolrest
spur and Live Centers

Tailstock
1. Loosen the tailstock lock lever, slide the
tailstock off the bed, then turn it over.
14. reinstall the spanner nut. only tighten the
spanner nut far enough to achieve 0.001"–
0.002" end play on the faceplate.
2. Clean the shaft on the underside of the
tailstock with mineral spirits and a rag.
Tip: Use a dial indicator, as shown in Figure
68 on Page 45, to measure end play on the
faceplate.
3. place a couple drops of light machine oil at
each of the locations shown in figure 52.
15. When the correct amount of end play is
reached, tighten the spanner nut an addi-
tional 1⁄8 turn to preload the bearings.
16. reinstall the outboard mounting hub adapter,
mounting hub, and handwheel in the reverse
order.

these pages are current at the time of printing. however, in the spirit of improvement, we may make chang-
es to the electrical systems of future machines. study this section carefully. if there are differences between
your machine and what is shown in this section, call technical support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance
BeFore making any changes to the wiring on your machine.
Wiring Safety Instructions
1. SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that
is connected to a power source is extremely
dangerous. Touching electrified parts will
result in personal injury including but not lim-
ited to severe burns, electrocution, or death.
Disconnect the power from the machine
before servicing electrical components!
5. MODIFICATIONS. Using aftermarket parts or
modifying the wiring beyond what is shown
in the diagram may lead to unpredictable
results, including serious injury or fire.
6. MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown
in these diagrams is current at the time of
printing, but it may not match your machine.
Always use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
2. QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Due to the
inherent hazards of electricity, only a quali-
fied electrician should perform wiring tasks
on this machine. If you are not a quali-
fied electrician, get help from one before
attempting any kind of wiring job.
7. CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capaci-
tors and power inverters store an electrical
charge for up to 10 minutes after being dis-
connected from the power source. To reduce
the risk of being shocked, wait at least this
long before working on capacitors.
3. WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections
must be tight to prevent wires from loosen-
ing during machine operation. Double-check
all wires disconnected or connected during
any wiring task to ensure tight connections.
8. CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST fol-
low the requirements at the beginning of this
manual when connecting your machine to a
power source.
4. WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged
wires or components increase the risk of
serious personal injury, fire, or machine
damage. If you notice that any wires or
components are damaged while performing
a wiring task, replace those wires or compo-
nents before completing the task.
9. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are
experiencing difficulties understanding the
information included in this section, contact
our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
