BENCH LATHE MD-350 / MD 500
CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
YOU USE THE BENCH LATHE!
Carefully read this manual before using the machine. Ma-
ke sure that you know how the machine functions and how
to operate it. Maintain the machine in accordance with the
instructions to make sure it functions properly. Keep this
manual and the enclosed documentation with the machi-
ne.
USE
The metal lathe has been designed for processing, me-
chanically removing metal, of ferrous and non-ferrous me-
tals, synthetics and wood. The metal lathe is meant for se-
mi-professional use and for leisure interests.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electric machines always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to redu-
ce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Read the following safety instructions and also the
enclosed safety instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place!
At the design of the machine is made allowance for the re-
quirements for a safe use. Every change, adaptation, re-
construction or other adaptation use can cancel the safety
of the object. Besides the guarantee will expire through
this.
Before, after and during working with the lathe a number of
safety rules have to be taken. By the presence of turning
parts and sharp objects very severe injury can arise. Espe-
cially the bits of the turning chuck are very dangerous.
1. The lathe has been designed for manufacturing unruly
material and so it has to be able to develop a lot of po-
wer.
That is why touching turning parts is perilous. For this
reason unlawfully, undesirably or unintentionally swit-
ching on the machine has to be prevented, for example
by the pushed in locking of the emergency stop valve
by means of a small padlock.
2. By the elastic working of the chisel metal parts can
be shoot away with a big power at the most unex-
pected moments.
- Protection of the eyes is very important. Make it a habit
to wear special safety glasses when you are in the
space where the lathe stands. Buy yourself a profes-
sional and tested copy which you can wear for a long ti-
me and if need be for visitors a cheaper one, but this
one also has to be a good performance.
- If you take care of a cheerful workshop you can prevent
for example gripping in the machine or falling by stum-
bling over flinging about material.
3. Be very careful when you make turning pieces of
work with the hands.
- When you want to polish a surface turning, then take a
long piece of polish paper which you can place half
around the piece of work, with the ends to your direc-
tion.
- Never turn the ends around the fingers, never push
sand-paper on the piece of work with your hands.
- By turning, edges of the piece of work exist which are
sharp as a razor. These edges have to be smoothed off
with a file or a trimming hook.
4. Never remove chipcurls with your hands
Use a little hook which has been made by yourself of
thread or buy a professional chips hook.
5. Never grip over the turning machine or chuck
when during turning something falls in or behind
the bed.
Always first stop the machine. See that the covering
plate lies on the opening in the bed.
6. A good lighting prevents that you operate the ma-
chine from too close by.
- If you apply strip light you have to make allowance for
the so-called strobosto scopic effect. Through this a
turning object seems to stand still. A solution is the use
of double armatures by which a phase shifting of the
two strip lights has been accomplished.
7. Emergency stop
If a dangerous situation arises unexpectedly, for exa-
mple if a badly exerted piece of work seems to get loo-
se during turning, you van use the emergency stop by
giving a tap on the yellow cover of the safety switch,
marked “STOP”. The machine now stops without pus-
hing in the switch button yourself.
