Secure The Wood Lathe; Spindle Lock; Install The Face Plate; Attach The Spur Center - LEMAN TAB050 Manuel D'utilisation

- Clean thoroughly under the headstock, tailstock and tool rest body. Then coat with a light film of dry lubricant
spray, or wax, to enhance passage of the tool rest and tailstock on/over the bed. Refrain from using any water-
based solvents as they will promote metal rusting.
- Apply a coat of paste wax to any machined surfaces to prevent rust. Wipe all parts thoroughly with a clean dry
cloth.
- Set packing material and shipping carton aside. Do not discard the packing material until the machine has been
set up and is running properly, in case a return is necessary.
3.1 Secure the wood lathe (Fig 4)
CAUTION:
When moving the lathe, DO NOT use the headstock assembly, motor, tool rest or tailstock as this may damage the
machine. Hold under the lathe's bed to lift and move the machine. Straps or battens placed under the lathe bed
can also be used to move the machine.
- Position the machine on a solid stand, or bench that is located in an area that has ample space in front and in
back of the lathe for working and moving around the lathe.
- For best power and safety, the lathe should be plugged directly into a dedicated grounded electrical outlet that is
within the supplied cord length of the machine. The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
- Align the machine so that during use, any turning debris or kickback will not face aisles, doorways, or other work
areas that bystanders may be in. Do not locate or use the machine in damp or wet conditions.
- Once in place in your shop, make sure that the machine is level.
- The lathe must be attached to a solid work surface or stand. Four mounting holes (15) are easily accessible at the
base of the lathe. This will reduce any possible vibration during use.
3.2 Spindle lock (Fig 5)
- The spring loaded Index Pin Assembly (16) is primarily used to position the spindle for making accurate, spaced
pattern work on projects such as straight fluting, grooving, drilling, detail carving, wood burning patterns and laying
out designs.
- The Index Pin will also keep the spindle from turning, so if necessary, faceplates, chucks or other accessories
that have been mounted on the threaded spindle can be removed.
NOTE: Do not put excessive pressure on the Index Pin when trying to remove accessories from the lathe, or
damage to the pin, or spindle pulley, may result.
The Index Pin is spring loaded.
- Pull the Pin out, so that its Roll-Pin is removed from the 'high' grooves in the Locating Sleeve.
- Rotate the pin 90° to position the roll-pin back into the Sleeve. The deeper groove locations will insert the Index
Pin's shaft into the spindle pulley's hole(s), locking the spindle in place.
- To unlock the spindle, reverse the process.
CAUTION:
Disengage spindle lock (16) before turning the machine on.
3.3 Install the faceplate (Fig 6)
Faceplate is used for turning bowls and plates. There are a number of screw holes on the plate for mounting the
work piece for turning.
- Thread the faceplate (8) clockwise onto the headstock spindle.
- Then, tighten the faceplate with the supplied wrenches.
3.4 Attach the spur center (Fig 7)
The Spur Center (9) is used for turning between centers. Both spindle and spur center have matching MT-2 tapers.
- Insert the spur center (9) into the headstock spindle (29).
3.5 Knockout bar (Fig 8)
The knockout bar (17) is used to remove the spur center from the headstock spindle.
- Insert the knockout bar into the hole at the opposite side from the spur center.
3.6 Install the tool rest and its base (Fig 9 & 10)
- Remove the tailstock assembly (3) by releasing the locking handle (1) and sliding the assembly off the end of the
lathe bed (Fig 9).
- Slide the tool rest base (10) onto the lathe bed and tighten the locking lever (13) (Fig 10).
- Reinstall the tailstock assembly (3).
