Rikon Power Tools 70-306 Heavy Duty VSR Lathe is a powerful tool designed for precision turning operations. With a 16” swing over the bed and a 1-1/2 HP, 1 PH, TEFC motor, it can handle large workpieces and demanding tasks. The variable speed range of 0-3,200 RPM allows you to adjust the cutting speed to suit the material you are working with, ensuring optimal performance and surface finish. The heavy-duty construction and solid cast iron base provide stability and vibration damping, resulting in smooth and accurate cuts.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THE USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD
WITH THIS MACHINE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. For
best power and safety, plug the machine directly into a
dedicated, grounded electrical outlet that is within the
supplied cord length of the machine.
If an extension cord needs to be used, it should only be
for a limited operation of the machine. The extension
cord should be as short as possible in length, and have
a minimum gauge size of 14AWG.
Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use a tool
with a damaged cord, since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious
injury.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED
WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
FIG. A
Sample of 220 volt plug required for this machine.
EXTENSION CORDS
Keep the extension cord clear of
the working area. Position the cord so that it will not
get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while
you are working with your power tool.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords
to be certied SJT type or better.
** The use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.

CONTENTS OF PACKAGE
INSTALLATION
MOVING & INSTALLING THE LATHE
The lathe is VERY heavy- over 385 lbs!
It is best to assemble the machine near the area where
it will eventually reside.
When moving an assembled lathe, DO NOT use the
headstock assembly, motor, tool rest or tailstock as
this may damage the machine. Use a forklift, or pallet
jack under the lathe’s bed or legs to lift and move the
machine. Straps or battens placed under the lathe bed
can also be used to move the machine.
