WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become

entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or

cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid

accidental slips, which could cause loss of work-

piece control.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using

machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or

long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust

hazards associated with each workpiece material,

and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to

reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear-

ing protection when operating or observing loud

machinery. Extended exposure to this noise

without hearing protection can cause permanent

upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,

or any other tools on machine. Always verify

removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use

this tool for its intended purpose—do not force

it or an attachment to do a job for which it was

not designed. Never make unapproved modifica-

tions—modifying tool or using it differently than

intended may result in malfunction or mechanical

failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. 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.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and

bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.

Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce

accidental contact with moving parts or flying

debris. Make sure they are properly installed,

undamaged, and working correctly.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.

It will do the job safer and better at the rate for

which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury

may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting

tool is unintentionally contacted.

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 im pr op erly sec ured

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 ar e co m p l et e l y sto p p e d

before doing adjustments or maintenance.

MEASURING WORKPIECE. Only measure work-

piece 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 com-

pletely 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:

Model G0694 (Mfg. Since 10/09)

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Availability

Before installing the machine, consider the avail-

ability and proximity of the required power supply

circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the

requirements for this machine, a new circuit must

be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,

fire, or equipment damage, installation work and

electrical wiring must be done by an electrican or

qualified service personnel in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or

equipment damage may

occur if machine is not

correctly grounded and

connected to the power

supply.

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 220V ....... 9 Amps

The full-load current is not the maximum amount

of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine

is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond

the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length

of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—

especially if connected to an undersized circuit.

To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-

loading the machine during operation and make

sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that

meets the requirements in the following section.

Circuit Requirements for 220V

This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V

power supply circuit that has a verified ground and

meets the following requirements:

Nominal Voltage .............................. 220V/240V

Cycle ..........................................................60 Hz

Phase .................................................... 1-Phase

Power Supply Circuit ......................... 15 Amps

Plug/Receptacle ............................. NEMA 6-15

For your own safety and protection of

property, consult an electrician if you are

unsure about wiring practices or electrical

codes in your area.

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man-

ual 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 mul-

tiple machines will be running at the same time,

consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the

circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical

equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel

in the building and the machine. The power sup-

ply 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.)

-10-

Model G0694 (Mfg. Since 10/09)

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord

with this machine.

If you must use an extension

cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only

on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may

damage electrical components and shorten motor

life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord

size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller

(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 require-

ments:

Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.

Grounding Instructions

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event

of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric current.

Figure 2. Typical 6-15 plug and receptacle.

Grounding Prong

Current Carrying Prongs

6-15 PLUG

GROUNDED

6-15 RECEPTACLE

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The

wire with green insulation (with or without yellow

stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair

or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-

essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding

wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per-

sonnel 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, discon-

nect it from power, and immediately replace it with

a new one.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

the machine to power before completing the

setup process. DO NOT connect to power

until instructed later in this manual.

The power cord and plug specified under “Circuit

Requirements for 220V”

on the previous page

has an equipment-grounding wire and a ground-

ing prong. The plug must only be inserted into

a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all

local codes and ordinances (see figure below).

No adapter should be used with the

required plug. If the plug does not fit the

available receptacle, or the machine must

be reconnected for use on a different type

of circuit, the reconnection must be made

by a qualified electrician and comply with all

local codes and ordinances.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

the machine to power before completing the

setup process. DO NOT connect to power

until instructed later in this manual.

machine. Discard immediately.

-12-

Model G0694 (Mfg. Since 10/09)

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 preven-

tative, but the following steps work well in a wide

variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-

turer’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/degreas-

er 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.

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

points and can explode

or cause fire if used to

clean machinery. Avoid

using these products

to clean machinery.

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight

of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon

which the machine is placed will bear the weight

of the machine, additional equipment that may be

installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-

piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the

weight of the operator and any dynamic loading

that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will

be processed through this machine and provide

enough space around the machine for adequate

operator material handling or the installation of

auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,

leave enough space around the machine to open

or remove doors/covers as required by the main-

tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine is

operated is important for safe operation and lon-

gevity of machine components. For best results,

operate this machine in a dry environment that is

free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-

cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.

Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are

generally those where the ambient temperature

range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity

range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the

environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or

bumps.

Electrical Installation

Place this machine near an existing power source.

Make sure all power cords are protected from

traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,

or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to

a means of disconnecting the power source or

engaging a lockout/tagout device, if required.

Lighting

Lighting around the machine must be adequate

enough that operations can be performed safely.

Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Children or untrained people

may be seriously injured by

this machine. Only install in an

access restricted location.

Moving & Placing

Lathe

The Model G0694 is a

heavy machine (approx.

580 lbs.) Serious per-

sonal injury may occur

if safe moving methods

are not used. To be safe,

get assistance and use

power lifting equipment

rated for at least 750 lbs.

to move the shipping

crate and remove the

machine from the crate.

To move and place your lathe:

1. Remove the top crate from the shipping pal-

let.

2. To help balance the load, lock the outboard

tool rest assembly as close as possible to the

lathe body, then move the tailstock and cen-

ter tool rest assembly to the extreme right of

the bedway.

3. Remove the small items from the shipping

pallet, then remove the lag bolts securing the

lathe to the pallet.

Figure 6. Lifting straps positioned to lift the lathe.

4. Feed the lifting straps under the bedway, as

shown in Figure 6, making sure they spread

as wide as possible.

5. With assistance, steady the load and lift the

lathe from the shipping pallet.

— If the load is unbalanced, immediately

lower the lathe and reposition the lifting

straps as necessary. Repeat this step until

you are satisfied that the load is safely bal-

anced.

6. Have an assistant steady the load to keep it

from swaying as you lift the lathe only enough

to clear the shipping pallet and any floor

obstacles, then move it to its working loca-

tion.

Mounting to Shop

Floor

NOTICE

To ensure long life from you lathe and good

turning results, make sure the bedways

are level side-to-side and front-to-back.

Re-check the bedways two weeks after the

initial placement of the machine, then annu-

ally thereafter.

Figure 7. Right side mounting flange.

Mounting Flange

Use a precision level to make sure the bedways

are level side-to-side and front-to-back. If neces-

sary, place metal shims under the cabinets and

mounting flanges.

The mounting flanges on either side of the lathe

will accept

3

⁄8" mounting hardware (see Figure 7).

Securing the machine to the floor prevents it from

tipping or shifting and reduces operational vibra-

tion. On the other hand, securing the machine to

the floor reduces future mobility.

If your machine will be installed in an industrial or

workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-

ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes

may require that it be fastened to the floor.

If not required by any local codes, securing the

machine to the floor is an optional step. If you

choose not to secure the machine to the floor,

we recommend placing it on machine mounts,

because they give you an easy way to level the

machine and feature vibration-absorbing pads.

methodology when local codes apply.

Before starting the lathe, you must read

through the rest of the manual and be famil-

iar with the various functions and safety

features on this machine. Failure to follow

this warning could result in serious per-

sonal injury or even death!

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, test run your

machine to make sure it runs properly and is

ready for regular operation.

The test run consists of verifying the following: 1)

The motor powers up and runs correctly, 2) the

stop button safety feature works correctly, and 3)

the motor turns the correct direction (machine is

not wired out of phase).

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate

the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop

using the machine immediately, then review

Troubleshooting on Page 39.

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our

Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

To test run the machine:

1. Make sure you understand the safety instruc-

tions at the beginning of the manual and that

the machine is set up properly.

2. Make sure all tools and objects used during

setup are cleared away from the machine.

4. To unlock the spindle so that it can freely

rotate in the next steps, pull the spindle lock

lever out and rotate it so that it is in the twelve

o'clock position, as shown in Figure 10.

Always disconnect the lathe from power

before using the spindle lock feature. Never

resume turning operations without making

sure that the spindle lock is disengaged and

the spindle turns freely by hand. Otherwise

personal injury or property damage could

result.

5. Turn the speed dial counterclockwise to set

the spindle speed at zero.

6. Connect the lathe to power.

7. Verify that the machine is operating cor-

rectly by pushing the ON button, then use the

speed dial to increase the spindle speed.

—When operating correctly, the machine

runs smoothly with little or no vibration or

rubbing noises.

— Investigate and correct strange or unusual

noises or vibrations before operating the

machine further. Always stop the machine

and disconnect it from power before inves-

tigating or correcting potential problems.

8. Press the STOP button to stop the machine.

9. WITHOUT resetting the switch, press the ON

button. The machine should not start.

—If the machine does not start, the STOP

button safety feature is working correctly.

—If the machine does start (with the STOP

button pushed in), immediately disconnect

power to the machine. The STOP button

safety feature is not working correctly. This

safety feature must work properly before

proceeding with regular operations. Call

Tech Support for help.

10. Verify that the power is not connected out of

phase by starting/stopping the machine in the

FWD direction and determining if the spindle

turns in the counterclockwise direction (look-

ing at the spindle from the tailstock side of the

lathe).

— If the spindle does NOT turn counter-

clockwise, it is turning in the wrong direc-

tion. Stop the machine, disconnect it from

power, then swap any two of the three

power wires inside the motor wiring junc-

tion box (refer to the Wiring Diagram on

Page 48 for specific information).
