• Wood which is not correctly glued can explode when be-
ing processed due to centrifugal force.
• Trim work piece to a rectangular shape, center and cor-
rectly secure before processing. Unbalanced work pieces
can be hazardous.
• Injuries can occur when feeding work pieces if tool sup-
ports are not correctly adjusted or if turning tools are
blunt. Sharp turning tools which are free of defects are
necessary for professional turning.
• Long hair and loose clothing can be hazardous when
the work piece is rotating. Wear personal protective gear
such as a hair net and tight fitting work clothes.
• Saw dust and wood chips can be hazardous. Wear pe-
sonal protective gear such as safety goggles and a dust
mask.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can lead
to injuries caused by electricity.
• 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.
Assembly (figure 2 – 7)
Your scheppach drilling machine is subassembled for
technical reasons involved with packaging.
• Fig. 2 Slightly screw the frame feet in pairs with the up-
per frame angle (each 3 neck bolts M8 x 12 with washer
and nut), put on sole plates.
• Fig. 3 Screw the bottom chassis with the frame feet also
only hand-tight (each 2 neck bolts M8 x 12 with washer
and nut).
• Place the frame on an even surface.
• Fig. 4 Place the drilling machine onto the frame and
firmly screw with the 8 Allen screws ;8 x 35, with spring
washer and nut.
• Finally tighten all the screws of the frame firmly.
• Fig. 5 Insert the switch from inside into the frame foot
and screw on with the Phillips head screw M4 with
washer and nut.
• Fig. 6 Fasten bed extension with 2 Allen screws M10 x
25 and spring washer on the headstock side at the drill-
ing bed.
• Fig. 7 Attach release handle at the headstock (clamping
handle, pressure spring, screw)
Startup
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 stepup tools before first operating the ma
chine!
Reversing switch, Fig. 8
Your turning machine is equipped witha reversing switch.
The motor is always switched on and off using the operat-
ing switch. I = green; 0 = red.
The reversing switch is merely a selector for the direction
10 english
of rotation. You can change the direction of rotation from
anticlockwise
to clockwise
The speed setting can only be done when engine is running.
For safety reasons, it is not possible to switch directly from
anticlockwise to clockwise when the motor is running.
When the reversing switch is in 0-position it switches the
motor off, which must be switched back on using the green
switch.
Speed adjustment, Fig. 9
The speed can only be adjusted during work.
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 preworked, 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
• Open casing by rotating the lock screw of a revolution to
the left.
• Loosen the binder (1). To turn further, pull in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow. The binder can be moved
freely to the left or right.
• 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 (1) and return to its vertical position.
NOTE: Extremely high belt-tension causes rapid wear of the
belt.
• Close the casing and lock into place by turning the screw
1/4 of a revolution to the right.
• When the cover is closed, read the adjusted speed from
the viewing-window.
• When working with highly unbalanced workpieces, se-
lect a speed at least one level lower.
Driver, Fig. 1.2, A
The driver is used exclusively for work between both cent-
ers.
Face plate, figure 1.1
The face plate is used with flat larger tools.
Change of the clamping tools
• Loosen grub screw on the shaft of the clamping tool.
• Retain spindle with mandrel, release the clamping tool
with the hexagonal spanner.
Headstock, figure 10
• The headstock can be swivelled after releasing the
as you require.
