-16- G1067Z Wood Lathe
Adjust the tool rest as close to the workpiece as
possible without actually coming in contact with
the workpiece. Test by hand turning the work-
piece before turning lathe on. Ensure that the
lathe chisel is fully supported by the tool rest.
Support the lathe chisel on the tool rest with one
hand, while controlling the chisel with the other
hand. Figure 20. For outboard turning, it may be
desirable to use a free standing tool rest.

If noises occur that cannot be found by visual
inspection, feel free to contact our service depart-
ment for help.
Test Run
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust
the machine while it is running. Wait until
the machine is turned off, unplugged and
all working parts have come to a rest
before you do anything! Serious personal
injury may occur.
Once the assembly is complete and the adjust-
ments are done to your satisfaction, you are
ready to test the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main
panel. Press the START button. Make sure
that your finger is poised on the STOP but-
ton, just in case there’s a problem. The
Wood Lathe should run smoothly, with lit-
tle or no vibration or rubbing noises.
Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated and corrected before operat-
ing the machine further.
If the lathe runs smoothly, try mounting a
piece of turning stock. If a problem exists,
stop the machine and review all the adjust-
ments. Call for assistance, if needed.
