Even when all safety measures are taken, some re-
maining hazards which are not yet evident may still
be present.
•
Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the
instructions in „Safety Precautions", „Proper Use" and
in the entire operating manual.
Start-up
Observe the safety notes in the operating instructions before
operating the machine.
Remove the tensioning spindle or the chuck from the spindle
in addition to any step-up tools before first operating the
machine!
SpEED ADjuSTMENT
The speed can only be adjusted once the machine has
been unplugged.
The correct number of revolutions is visible on the speed
diagram located on the headstock. The speed diagram is
intended for medium-hard dry woods.
The appropriate speed is based on various factors such
as:
•
type and compostion of woods
•
seasoned, dry woods
•
diameter and length of workpieces
•
squared or unbalanced woods
•
width of pre-worked, balanced workpieces
•
wood turner tools and technique
•
workpieces out of glued wood
Successful wood turning does not result from high
speeds, but rather, from correct use of the machine.
Guidelines for speed adjustment
Low speeds for:
•
workpieces with large diameters
•
hard workpieces with large diameters
•
long, unbalanced workpieces
•
glued pieces of wood
Speed adjustment (Fig. 2+3)
•
Open casing by rotating the lock screw of a revolution
to the left.
•
Loosen the binder (C). To turn further, pull in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow. The binder can be moved
freely up or down.
•
Using the lever, raise the electric motor and move the
belt to the desired level. The belt must lie exactly in
the grooves of the belt disc.
•
Lower the electric motor into place and tighten the belt
by applying light pressure to the lever (2). Tighten the
binder (C) and return to its vertical position.
NOTE: Extremely high belt-tension causes rapid wear of
the belt.
