SAFETY
Additional Safety for Wood Lathes
INTEGRITY OF STOCK.
Verify each workpiece is
free of knots, splits, nails, or foreign material
to ensure it can safely rotate on spindle
without breaking apart or causing turning tool
kickback.
WORKPIECE PREPARATION.
Before mounting, cut
off waste portions with a bandsaw or other
tool to ensure workpiece has no large edges to
catch turning tool, and it will rotate without
dangerous wobbling.
SECURING LOCKS.
Verify tool rest, headstock,
and tailstock are secure before turning lathe
ON.
SECURING WORKPIECE.
An improperly secured
workpiece can fly off spindle with deadly
force. Use proven setup techniques and always
verify workpiece is well-secured before starting
lathe. Only use high-quality fasteners with non-
tapered heads for faceplate attachment.
TOOL SUPPORT.
An improperly supported tool
may be grabbed or ejected. Adjust tool rest
approximately
1
4 away from workpiece and
1
8 above workpiece center line to provide
proper support for turning tool. Firmly hold
turning tool with both hands against tool rest.
TOOL KICKBACK
. Occurs when turning tool is
ejected from workpiece with great force,
striking operator or bystanders. Commonly
caused by poor workpiece selection/
preparation, improper tool usage, or improper
machine setup or tool rest adjustment.
ADJUSTMENT TOOLS
. Remove all chuck keys,
wrenches, and adjustment tools before turning
lathe ON. A tool left on the lathe can become
a deadly projectile when spindle is started.
SAFE CLEARANCES
. Before starting spindle, verify
workpiece has adequate clearance by hand-
rotating it through its entire range of motion.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION. Always wear a face
shield and safety glasses when operating lathe.
PROPER APPAREL.
Do not wear gloves, necktie or
loose clothing. Keep keep long hair away from
rotating spindle.
SPEED RATES. Select correct spindle speed for
workpiece size, type, shape, and condition.
Use low speeds when roughing or when turning
large, long, or non-concentric workpieces.
Allow spindle to reach full speed before
turning.
NEW SETUPS. Test each new setup by starting
spindle rotation at the lowest speed and
standing to the side of the lathe until
workpiece reaches full speed and you can
verify safe rotation.
ROUGHING.
Use correct tool. Take light cuts, use
low speeds, and firmly support tool with both
hands.
SHARP TOOLS. Only use sharp turning tools
they cut with less resistance than dull tools.
Dull turning tools can catch or grab and pull
your hands into the rotating workpiece.
STOPPING SPINDLE. Always allow spindle to
completely
stop on its own. Never put hands or
another object on spinning workpiece.
ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure wood
lathe is turned OFF
, disconnected from power,
and all moving parts are completely stopped
before doing adjustments or maintenance.
MEASURING WORKPIECE. Only measure
workpiece after it has stopped. Trying to
measure a spinning workpiece increases
entanglement risk.
SANDING/POLISHING. To reduce entanglement
risk, remove tool rest before sanding. Never
completely wrap sandpaper around workpiece.
MAIN INJURY HAZARDS: Death or crushing injury from getting entangled in rotating spindle or
workpiece; death, blindness, or broken bones from being struck by a workpiece that breaks
apart or comes loose during rotation, turning tool kickback, or flying wood chips. To minimize
your risk of these hazards, always heed the following warning information:

ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICAL
Circuit Requirements
This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
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.)
Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply
circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following
requirements:
Circuit Type .............. 110V/120V, 60 Hz, Single-Phase
Circuit Size ............................................ 15 Amps
Plug/Receptacle ................................... NEMA 5-15
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.
Full-Load Current Rating at 120V ............... 3.2 Amps
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power
source until instrtucted to do so later
in this manual.
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this
machine can cause electrocution, fire,
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,
only an electrician or qualified service
personnel should do any required
electrical work on this machine.
NOTICE
The circuit requirements listed in this
manual apply to a dedicated circuit
where only one machine will be running
at a time. If this machine will be
connected to a shared circuit where
multiple machines will be running at the
same time, consult with an electrician
to ensure that the circuit is properly
sized for safe operation.
-12-
Model W1704 (For Machines Mfd. Since 01/20)
ELECTRICAL
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 travelin
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.
For 120V Connection
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 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 120V ...................... 16 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.
Grounding Pin
Neutral Hot
5-15 PLUG
GROUNDED
5-15 RECEPTACLE
120V
Figure 4. NEMA 5-15 plug & receptacle.
DO NOT modify the provided plug or
use an adapter if the plug will not
fit the receptacle. Instead, have an
electrician install the proper receptacle
on a power supply circuit that meets
the requirements for this machine.
This machine is equipped with a power cord with an
equipment-grounding
wire and NE MA 5-15 grounding
plug
(see figure). The plug must only be inserted into
a matching
receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

SETUP
Cleaning Machine Machine Placement
Workbench Load
Refer to the Machine Specifications for the
weight and footprint specifications of your
machine. Some workbenches may require
additional reinforcement to support the weight
of the machine and workpiece materials.
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and
additional space needed for auxiliary stands,
work tables, or other machinery when
establishing a location for this machine in the
shop. Below is the minimum amount of space
needed for the machine.
Placement Location
INJURY HAZARD! Untrained
users can injure themselves
with this machine. Restrict
access to machine when
you are away, especially if
it is installed where chil-
dren are present.
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but
it will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper
care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust
preventative, but the following steps work well
in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning
product you use and make sure you work in a
well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to
toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
Disposable rags
Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
Safety glasses & disposable gloves
Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it
soak for 5–10 minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
degreaser is effective, the rust
preventative will wipe off easily. If you
have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as
much as you can first, then wipe off the
rest with the rag.
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a
quality metal protectant to prevent rust.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.

SETUP
Assembly
Before beginning the assembly process, refer to Items
Needed for Setup
and gather everything you need.
Ensure all parts have been properly cleaned of any
heavy-duty rust-preventative applied at the factory (if
applicable). Be sure to complete all steps in the assembly
procedure prior to performing the
Test Run
or connecting
the machine to power.
To assemble machine, do these steps:
1. Install tailstock lock lever and M6-1 x 17 quill lock
handle, as shown in Figure 8.
2
. Install tool rest base lock lever and M6-1 x 28 tool
rest lock handle, as shown in
Figure 9.
3
. Insert tool rest into tool rest base and tighten tool
rest lock handle (see Figure 10).
Note: Unless workpiece clearance is an issue, always
install the larger of the (2) tool rests included with
this machine to give yourself more room to work.

SETUP
Test Run
Serious injury or death can result
from using this machine BEFORE
understanding its controls and related
safety information. DO NOT operate, or
allow others to operate, machine until
the information is understood.
DO NOT start machine until all
preceding setup instructions have been
performed. Operating an improperly set
up machine may result in malfunction
or unexpected results that can lead
to serious injury, death, or machine/
property damage.
Once assembly is complete, test run the machine to
ensure it is properly connected to power and safety
components are functioning properly.
If you find an unusual problem during the test run,
immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from power,
and fix the problem BEFORE operating the machine again.
The
Troubleshooting table in the SERVICE
section of this
manual can help.
To test run machine, do these steps:
1. Clear all setup tools away from machine.
2. Turn spindle speed dial all the way counterclockwise
(see Figure 11).
3.
Connect machine to power supply.
4. Verify machine is operating correctly by flipping ON/
OFF paddle switch up, then slowly turning spindle
speed dial clockwise.
When operating correctly, machine runs smoothly
with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.
