Operations
A perfect and sharp wood turner tool is a precondition for pro-
fessional wood-turning.
Selection of materials

marred surface, or knots. Faulty wood tends to split and
becomes a risk for both the operator and the machine.

without weak points.

its natural state as well. Saw out the rough form with a
band saw. An octagonal form is recommended for the
material so that vibrations are reduced.
Centering of the workpiece (Fig. 12)
Centering the prepared workpiece is an important opera-
tion to be performed before placing it into the machine.
Centering consists of measuring the middle point of the
workpiece and marking it with a center punch.
Make a depression of 1.5 to 2 mm in the middle point.
If the workpiece has not been centered exactly, strong vi-
brations will develop as a result of the imbalance. It is
possible that the workpiece could be hurled outward as a
result.
NOTE: Exact centering of the workpiece produces smooth
concentricity.

with the hand wheel. This operation only should be per-
formed when the motor has been turned off.
The tailstock center should rest firmly in the wood.
Marking of the workpiece
Sometimes the workpiece has to be taken out before it has
been completed. It is advantageous to mark the workpiece
and the driver with a pencil first.
When placing the workpiece back in the machine, match
the marks on the workpiece and the driver.
Specialized literature
Specialized shops offer appropriate specialized literature
about wood turning. They can be a great help for beginners
in their work as well as a source of ideas for experts.
Electrical connection
The installed electric motor is completely wired ready for
operation.
The customer’s connection to the power supply system,
and any extension cables that may be used, must conform
with local regulations.
Important remark:
The motor is automatically switched off in the event of an
overload. The motor can be switched on again after a cool-
ing down period that can vary.
Defective electrical connection cables
Electrical connection cables often suffer insulation dam-
age.
