2. At the end of the workpiece, produce an approx. 2 mm
deep saw cut along the diagonal, in order to receive the
headstock drive centre (4).
3. Use a wood mallet (not supplied) to drive the headstock
drive centre (4) into the point where the diagonal cuts
across the end of the workpiece. Take care to protect the
threaded end of the headstock drive centre (4) so that no
object damages the thread.
4. Cut the corners off the workpiece if the diameter of the
ends is greater than 5 cm x 5 cm to make turning easier
and safer.
5. Measure the combined total length of the workpiece with
the headstock drive centre (4) and centering pin (7) on
each end.
6. Loosen the clamping lever for the tailstock (9) and set
the distance between the headstock drive centre (4) and
the centring pin (7), such that a slightly greater distance
is obtained than the measured total length of the work-
piece.
7. Tightly screw the headstock drive centre (4) with work-
piece onto the centering pin (7) by the hand wheel (10).
8. Once positioned fasten the counternut (8) against the tail
stock (9).
9. Set the tool support (5) with tool rest (6) approx. 3 mm
away from the workpiece.
Caution: Before starting the machine test the setup
by rotating the workpiece by hand to ensure that
there is enough clearance all the way around and
that it does not come into contact with the tool sup-
port (6).
Using the face plate: (Fig. 3)
To use the faceplate:
• The faceplate (15) offers solid and secure support for a
variety of turned objects such as platters, bowls, pots and
round pieces.

Installing the faceplate:

1. Loosen the headstock drive centre (4) and remove from
the spindle.
2. Thread the faceplate (15) onto the headstock spindle
and tighten by hand and the wrench.
Securing workpiece on the faceplate:
Workpieces that cannot be worked using the headstock drive
centre (4), instead must be mounted on a faceplate (15) or a
backing piece, such as a chuck or block of wood.
1. Rough cut the workpiece as close as possible to the final
shape before mounting onto the faceplate (15).
2. Firmly attach the faceplate (15) to the workpiece. Depend-
ing on the workpiece, this can be done with wood screws
(not supplied) driven directly into the workpiece. Where
the intended cutting dimensions do not allow for screws, a
backing piece might be required. A backing piece can be
made from a piece of scrap wood cube with two flat and
parallel opposite faces. Identify and mark the centre of the
backing piece. It may be necessary to bond the carrier
part (wooden block) with the workpiece and attach it to
the carrier part, before fastening it to the face plate (15)
using screws (not included in the scope of delivery). In this
18 GB/IE
case, clamp the backing piece to the workpiece and wait
for the glue to dry according to the glue manufacturer's
recommendation. Where the use of screws into the work-
pieceis not permissible, the workpiece can be glued onto
a backing piece with a piece of paper placed in between
the joint. This allows for later separation without damage
caused to the workpiece. Use only non-tapered head
wood screws. Do not use tapered head wood screws.
Caution: Pay attention to the wood turning chisel
so that it does not interfere with the holding screws
at the finished dimensions of the workpiece.
Switching on and off (Fig. 1)
• Press the On switch (2/„I")to start the machine.
• Press the Off switch (2/"0") to stop the machine.
Caution: The device starts running immediately at
the set speed.
Speed adjustment (Fig. 1)
The correct speed must be set to suit the workpiece to be pro-
cessed.

Electronic speed control:

Use the electronic speed control to steplessly set the speed:
Set the speed with the help of the speed control (3).
Important information for operation
• We recommend that you refer to specialised literature on
wood-turning techniques.
• Look out for knots and shrinkage shakes when selecting the
wood for your turning work. Only use wood which is free of
cracks and large knots (where there are small knots, take ap-
propriate care with the pressure applied with the turning tool).
• Always check that the shaped item is securely held by check-
ing it by hand. Warning! Pull out the power plug!
• Use only an original turning tool which is sharp.
• Do not stand in the flight path of the workpiece when turning
wooden disks.
• Please cut large and imbalanced shaped items to size as
best as possible using a bandsaw or fretsaw. If the shaped
items are very imbalanced they will pose a risk to your health
and to the service life of the machine.
• Always start with the lowest possible speed for new work-
pieces being turned and increase it with increasing massive-
ness of the workpiece being turned.
• Do not use wooden disks with contraction cracks, since they pose
a high risk of bursting under the impact of centrifugal forces.
• Do not exceed the maximum workpiece sizes.
• In case of tools which get blocked: Pull out the power plug
first before starting troubleshooting.
• To do your turning work, position yourself at the machine so that
you can guide the cutting tools effectively on the tool support.
• Only use cutting tools, which are recommended for wood
turning works.

11. Transport

1. Turn the power tool off before it is transported and dis-
connect it from the power supply.
