Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be fol- lowed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

Read all instructions before using this product!

1.Avoid working alone. If an accident happens, an assistant can bring help.

2.Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

3.Observe work area conditions. Don???t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

4.Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.

5.Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry loca- tion to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

6.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts. Protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

7.Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles.

8.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across electrical cables or frames.

9.Maintain tools with care. Inspect Lathe Stand periodically and, if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized technician.

10.Use the right Lathe Stand for the job. Do not attempt to force a small Lathe Stand to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain ap-

plications for which this Lathe Stand was designed. Do not modify this Lathe Stand and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.

11.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not use any Lathe Stand when you are tired.

12.Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate prop- erly and perform its intended function. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.

13.Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty.

14.Do not use Lathe with Stand if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or re- flexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not use the

Lathe with Stand.

15.Take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these materi- als extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.

16.Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified technician.

Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruc- tion manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may oc- cur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Warning! Read and follow all of the warnings that came with the Lathe that you use with this stand.

Assembly

Refer to the Assembly Drawing on page 6.

Note: The only tool necessary is an adjustable wrench. It is advised to always tighten hardware by hand until the unit is complete, then tighten with the wrench.

1.Take a Base Plate (2) and attach a Leg A (3) to one side of it using four sets of Bolts (7), Spring Washers (9), Flat Washers (8), and Nuts (10).

2.On the opposite side of the Base Plate (2), attach a Leg B (4) using a set of

Bolts (7), Spring Washers (9), Flat Washers (8), and Nuts (10).

3.Repeat this procedure with the other Base Plate (2) and Legs A&B (3&4) so that you have two identical leg structures.

4.In the lowest holes of both Legs A&B (3&4) on one leg structure, attach a Leg Mounting A (5) so that the holes match up and the angled lip is on top. Secure with two sets of Bolts (7), Spring Washers (9), Flat Washers (8), and Nuts (10).

5.Repeat same procedure with the other leg structure.

6.Next, you will join the two leg structures allowing the unit to stand. Lay the units on a flat, level surface so that the insides of both leg structures are facing each other. Line up the two holes on a Leg Mounting B (6) with the holes on the inside of one of the Legs A&B (3&4). Secure it with two sets of

Bolts (7), Spring Washers (9), Flat Washers (8), and Nuts (10). Take the other end of the Leg Mounting B (6) bracket and attach it to the inside of the corresponding Leg A&B (3&4) on the other leg structure using two sets of Bolts (7), Spring Washers (9), Flat Washers (8), and Nuts (10).

7.Repeat the same procedure on the other two Legs A&B (3&4).

8.Stand up the unit.

9.Lastly, attach an Adapter Plate (1) to each Base Plate (2) using four sets of

Bolts (7), Spring Washers (9), Flat Washers (8), and Nuts (10). The stand is ready for your lathe.

Operation

Note: Always use the stand on a flat, level, dry surface. We recommend us- ing two people to secure the lathe to the Lathe Stand.

1.When mounting a lathe onto the stand, first make sure the mounting holes on the stand correspond with the mounting holes on the lathe.

2.One person should hold the lathe so that the mounting holes line up, while the other person puts one of the bolt, washer, nut combinations (not includ- ed) through one of the holes in an Adapter Plate (1), and tighten by hand. Next, attach one bolt, washer, nut combinations (not included) through one of the holes on the other Adapter Plate (1). Tighten by hand.

3.Now, add the remaining hardware (not included) to secure all of the mount- ing holes, and tighten with a wrench.

Maintenance

1.Clean dirt, grease, or wood chippings off of the stand with a cloth or brush.

2.Periodically tighten all of the hardware.
