use—especially around children. Make
workshop kid proof!
FECPLJ<8J@EK<E;<;% Only use machine for

adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc.
in or on machine—especially near moving
parts. Verify removal before starting!

clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured
workpiece protects hands and frees both of
them to operate the machine.

work against the rotation of blades or cutters.
Feeding in the same direction of rotation may
pull your hand into the cut.

protect you from accidental contact with
moving parts or flying debris. Make sure
they are properly installed, undamaged, and
working correctly before using machine.

operations greatly increases the risk of injury
and loss of control. Verify machines are
stable/secure and mobile bases (if used) are
locked before starting.

will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
8NBN8I;GFJ@K@FEJ% Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.

running while unattended. Turn machine off
and ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away.
D8@EK8@EN@K?:8I<% Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. An
improperly maintained machine may increase
the risk of serious injury.

1. AVOIDING INJURY: Read and understand this manual before operating this lathe.
2. AVOIDING LACERATIONS AND ENTANGLEMENT: Do not clear chips by hand. Use a brush, and never
clear chips while the lathe is turning.
3. USING CORRECT TOOLING: Always select the right cutter for the job, and make sure cutters are
sharp. The right tool decreases strain on the lathe components and provides a better finish.
4. ELIMINATING A PROJECTILE HAZARD: Always remove chuck key. Never walk away from the lathe
with the key in the chuck.
5. SECURING A WORKPIECE: Make sure workpiece is properly held in chuck before starting lathe. A
workpiece thrown from the chuck will cause severe injury.
6. CHUCK SAFETY: Chucks are surprisingly heavy and awkward to hold, so protect your hands and the
lathe ways. Always use a chuck cradle or piece of plywood over the lathe ways.
7. WORKPIECE SUPPORT: Support a long workpiece if it extends from the headstock so it will not
wobble violently when the lathe is turned on. When machining, a workpiece that extends more than
2.5 times its diameter must be supported by a center or steady rest.
8. AVOIDING STARTUP INJURIES: Make sure workpiece, cutting tool, and tool post have adequate
clearance before starting lathe. Check chuck clearance and saddle clearance before starting the
lathe. Make sure spindle RPM is set correctly for part diameter before starting the lathe. Large
parts can be ejected from the chuck if the chuck speed is set too high.
9. ELIMINATING A PROJECTILE HAZARD: Always use the appropriate feed and speed rates.
10. AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT INJURIES: Never attempt to slow or stop the lathe chuck by hand, and
tie back long hair, ponytails, loose clothing, and sleeves so they do not dangle.
11. MAINTAINING A SAFE WORKPLACE: Never leave lathe unattended while it is running.
12. GI<M<EK@E>8E8GIFE$:?L:B:I8J?1 Always release automatic feeds after completing a job.

and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.
)

Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.

Grounding Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in
order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will
increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.

Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this
machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor life.
Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords and
the gauge smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers
indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size at 110V ...................... 14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).................50 ft.
This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an
equipment-grounding wire and a NEMA 5-15 grounding
plug. The plug must only be inserted into a matching
receptacle (see Figure 6) that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of your
lathe are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

Test Run and Break-In
The purpose of the test run is to make sure the benchtop
lathe and safety features operate correctly before
proceeding with additional setup.
To begin the test run procedure, do these steps:
(% Make sure the benchtop lathe is lubricated. Refer to
GX^\*+ if required.
)% Make sure the chuck is threaded onto the spindle
tightly and the two set screws are tight. Refer to
:_lZbXe[=XZ\gcXk\Dflek`e^onGX^\ (0for
details.
*% Before starting the lathe, make sure the lathe is
properly grounded and the power and directional
switch is in the OFF position.
+% Inspect the machine to ensure that all hand tools are
out of the way, guards are in place, and nothing is
impeding the movement of the chuck.
,. Push both the half-nut lever and the feed lever down
to disengage the apron (see =`^li\9).
-% Move the power switch shown in=`^li\10 to the 1
or 2 position. The chuck should rotate.
• If you hear squealing or grinding noises, turn the
machine OFF immediately and correct any problem
before further operation.
• If the problem is not readily apparent, refer to
KiflYc\j_ffk`e^ on GX^\+'.

The Model M1049 will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary knowl-
edge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time
you are experiencing difficulties performing any opera-
tion, stop using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek train-
ing from an experienced benchtop lathe operator before
performing any unfamiliar operations. 8Yfm\Xcc#pfli
