not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could result

in severe injury from breakage of the eye

protection.

c. For dusty operation, wear a face shield along

with safety goggles.

d. To avoid being struck by thrown workpieces or

tools:

1) Before turning lathe on, be positive the lathe

is set at the slowest speed for roughing a

new workpiece or for turning a remounted

workpiece.

2) Before turning the lathe on, always rotate

the workplace by hand to make sure it does

not strike the tool rest or anything else.

O_ o

._o

3) Make sure centers are aligned when

tailstock and ram are locked.

4) Make sure the spur center and cup center

are firmly seated against the workpiece and

that the tail stock is locked in place for spin-

dle turnings.

5) Always center workpiece and use wood

free of checks, splits, cracks or knots. Use

lathe to turn wood and wood-like products

only.

6) Before mounting workpiece "rough it out"

to as "true round" as possible.

7) Always center and fasten the workpiece

securely to the face plate for face plate

turning.

8) Always position the tool rest above the cen-

terllne of the lathe for spindle turning and

lock in place.

9) Do not try any operation when hand holding

the workpiece or applying the turning tool

to the workpiece below the level of the tool

rest.

10) Never try to remount a face plate turning

to the face plate for any reason.

11) Never try to remount spindle turnings be-

tween centers if the original centers in the

turning have been altered or removed.

12) Keep firm hold and control of the turning

tool and do not let the tool "bite" into the

workpiece.

13) Make sure all clamps and locks are tight

and there is no sideplay,

14) Never use lathe to cut workpiece into two

pieces.

15) Before turning lathe on be sure motor cover

Esinstalled and slide closed,

16) Make sure headstock is securely attached

to bed.

e. To avoid being suddenly caught in the lathe:

1) Do not wear gloves, neckties or loose

clothing.

2) Tie back long hair.

3) Remove all jewelry.

4) Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

5) Keep motor cover in place.

6) Do not store turning tools where you must

reach over the revolving workpiece to select

them.

f, To avoid iniury from accidental starting always

turn switch off, unplug power cord, and remove

switch key before removing the guard, installing

or removing the workpiece, accessory or attach-

ment, or making any adjustments:

g. Toavoid losing control of the turning tool causing

Injury:

1) Use both hands spaced apart and keep a

firm hold of the turning toot.

2) Always support the turning tool directly on

the tool rest.

3) Always operate the lathe so that the top of

the workpiece turns toward you (clockwise

facing the left side of the lathe).

4) Keep turning tools sharp.

5) Never start a cut directly at the end where

it may catch the workpiece.

6) Always use both hands spaced apart along

turning tool for leverage and balance.

Plan your hand placement so your hands will

not be where a sudden slip could cause them

to contact the workpiece.

To avoid an electrical shock, make sure your

fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the

plug when installing or removing the plug to or

from a live outlet.

Never turn your lathe "ON" before clearing the

area of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).

3, WHENEVER LATHE IS RUNNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your wood lathe) cause a careless

mistake. Always remember that a careless frac.

tion of a second Is enough to cause severe Injury.

a, If your lathe makes an unfamiliar noise or if it

vibrates excessively, turn off the lathe im-

mediately. Remove switch key, Do not restart

until the problem is corrected,

b, Position turning tool so it will not chatter or

kickback,

c, Always stand to the side of the turning tool.

d, Never position your face over the turning tool.

e. Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden

slip could cause a hand to move into the

workpiece.

f, Complete hand sanding of spindle turnings

BEFORE removing from the lathe using the

same or slower turning speed,

g, Never leave the lathe work area without turning

the lathe off, removing the switch key and wait-

ing for the lathe to come to a complete stop.

4. To avoid injury use only recommended accessories

listed in the accessory section.

a, Do not mount and use a reamer, milling cutter,

wire wheel, buffing wheel or a drill bit on the

headstock spindle.

b, Use the drill chuck accessory on the tall stock

only.

c. Do not mount any drill that extends more than

6" beyond the chuck jaws.

MOUNTING WOOD FOR SPINDLE

TURNING

WARNING:To avoid Injury from unexpected start-

Ing, turn switch "off" and remove switch key

before mounting workpieoe in lathe.

We recommended that spindle turnings larger

than four Inches in diameter not be attempted.

If you have not done a lot of wood turning, we suggest

you start by mounting a small spindle turning. Follow

these steps:

1, Carefully inspect and select a piece of wood 2" x

2" x 12"and always use wood free of checks, splits,

cracks or knots.

2. Draw diagonal lines across each end of wood to

locate the center of each end.

3. On one end using a non-power handsaw, make a

saw cut approximately 1/16"deep on each diagonal

line. The spurs on the spur center will be placed

in these cuts,

4. The other end is for the cup center,Place point of

cup center on the wood wherediagonal lines cross.

5. Drive cup center into wood. Use a wooden mallet

or a plastic hammer. If you don't have one, use a

steel hammer, but put a piece of wood on the end

of cup center to protect it. Remove the cup center.

6. Drive the spur center into other end of wood, Make

sure the sPurs are in the saw cuts, Remove spur

center,

7, Make sure the centers and the holes in the

headstock spindle and tailstockspindle are clean,

Insert spur center into headstock and cup center

into tailstock and tap them in lightly with a piece

of wood. Do not drive them in,

8. Put a drop of oil or wax on the wood where it

contactsthe cup center. This wilt lubricate the wood

while it is turning.

9. Place lhe wood between the centers and lock the

tailstock,

WARNING: To avoid Injury from thrown pieces,

be sure the spur center and cup center are firmly

seated against the workplece and that the tail-

stock is securely LockedIn place,

10. Move the cup center inlo the wood by turning

tailstock hand wheel, Make sure cup center and

spur center are "seated" into wood in holes made

in steps 5 and 6 above, Turn the wood by hand

while turning the hand wheel until the cup center

and spur center are tight against workpiece,

11, Lock the tailstock spindle by tightening the splndle

lock.

t16" DEEP CUT

PLASTIC

HAMMER

12. Adjust the tool rest approximately 1/8" away from

the corners of the wood and 1/8" above the center

line. Note the angled position of the tool rest base.

WARNING: For your own safety, after adjusting

• tool rest be sure and lock the tool rest holder,

e tool rest slide and the tool rest.

Look at the speed chart. Notice that a 2" square

turning up to 18" long should run at 875 R.P.M. for

"roughing." Move the Poly-V-Belt on the pulleys to

the slowest speed as outlined under "Changing

Speeds" section.

When finish-turning any size wood, notice that the

recommended speed of the lathe is increased con-

siderably above the rough-turning speed.

However, if excessive vibration occurs at any speed

always shut the lathe off immediately and reduce

the speed until the vibration is not excessive.

During any spindle turning operation check all locks

frequently for tightness. Also frequently check the

fit of the cup center against the turning. Do not

allow the wearing away of wood to cause a loose fit.

WARNING: To avoid injury from thrown pieces,

turn workplece by hand to make sure it doesn't

hit any parts of the lathe. Always make sure the

workpiece is properly mounted and the lathe Is

set at the proper speed (RPM) before re-inserting

the switch key. Never spindle turn workpieces

longer than these specified in the chart for the

sizes shown. Never spindle turn workpieces

greater than 4" square.

FACEPLATE TURNING

WARNING: When doing faceplate turnings, always

follow instructions supplied with the faceplate for

mounting the workpiece to the faceplate. (for one

(1) possible exception--see "special note" to the

right) workpieces not properly and securely

attached to the faceplate may come loose during

operation, fly off, and hit the operator (fsceplates

are sold separately at SearHee the list of recom-

mended accessories for the correct part numbers.)

SPECIAL NOTE: The instructions with your faceplate

may tell you to remove the 3/4-16 hex nut from the

spindle before installing your faoeplate. Instead of re-

moving the 3/4-16 hex nut, tighten the faceplate up

against the nut on Modet 113.228360 Wood Lathe.

3/4-16 NUT

For information on how to do faceplate turning, refer to

the "Power Tool Know How" books available at your

Sears store, (See the list of recommended accessories

for the correct part number.)

Faceplates are attached to this wood lathe byscrewing

them onto the threaded section of headstock spindle and

up against the 3/4-16 hex nut as shown in the diagram,

Do not remove the 3/4-16 hex nut from the spindle when

mounting faceplates to the spindle on this model wood

THE SiX COMMONLY USED CHISEL TYPES

ROUND NOSE

A book entitled "Power Tool Know How Table Saw" is

available at your nearest Sears Retail Store or Catalog

Store. This book containsconsiderable data applicable

to the wood lathe.

SELECTION OF CHISELS

Recommended chisels have handles approximately 10

inches long to provide plenty of grip and leverage. Sharp

tools are essential for clean, safe work.., buy tools

that will take and hold clear edges. There are six com.

monly used chisel types. The gouge skew and parting

tool are used for cutting under the surface of lhe work-

piece. The flat nose, round nose and spear point are

used for scraping.

CUTTING AND SCRAPING

When doing a cutting operation, the chisel is held at

an angle so the sharp edge actually cuts below the

revolving workpiece surface to peel off shavings. To do

a scraping operation, the chisel is held at a right angle

to the workpiece and removes fine particles instead of

shavings. Many operations require that cutting chisels

be used for scraping, but scraping chisels should never

be used for cutting. When cutting, materiat is removed

faster than when scraping and produces a smoother

finish which requires less sanding.

CUTTING SCRAPING

WHEN YOU CAN CUT AND WHEN YOU

MUST SCRAPE

If yoL_are removing wood from the circumference of a

workpiece (for example, turning down the outer surface

of a cylinder or the inner wall of a hollow round box)

you may use either a cutting or a scraping action. This

is true because the granular structure of the wood will

allow easy removal of wood at the circumference of the

workpiece in much the same way as a peeling is re-

moved from an apple or a potato,

28 CIRCUMFERENCETURNING

If you are removing wood from the diameter of a work-

piece (as when turning the face of a faceplate turning)

you must use ascraping action only.This is true because

you are removing wood across the grain. Wood does

not peel easily across the grain, and attempts to use

a cutting action will result in damage to the workpiece

and throwing of the chisel by the workpiece,

DIAMETER TURNING

iii i ,11,ii

WARNING: To avoid having the woodworking

chisel torn from your hand, always work from a

larger diameter toward a more narrow diameter

on the wood turning and always do rough cir-

cumference cuffing with the gouge chisel.

THE GOUGE

Threegouges, the 1/4-, 1/2- and 3/4-in, sizes, are ample

for general homeshop turning; but other sizes from 1/8-

to 2-in. can be purchased.

Always use the gouge for rough circumference turning

of raw stock down to a cylinder of working size. It is

the best tool to use for rapid cutting away of large areas

of the workpiece. With practice, it can be used for cutting

coves and the shaping of long cuts and is also useful

for scraping.

THE SKEW

The skew should be used only by operators who have

become proficient in the use of all other turning tools,

Two skews, the 112- and 1-in. sizes, are all that are

needed for general use, Other sizes are available. This

tool is used to make finish cuts and to cut vees and

beads. Properly used, it produces the best finish that

can be obtained with a chisel.

WARNING: To avoid injury from athrown work-

piece, never cut all the way through a spindle

turning.

THE PARTING TOOL

The parting tool has just one primary purpose: to cut

straight into the workpiece as deep as desired.

THE SCRAPING CHISELS (SPEAR POINT, FLAT

NOSE, AND ROUND NOSE)

A1/2-in, wide spear point chisel, a 1/2-in. wide round

nose chisel, and a 1-in, wide flatnose chisel are very

useful for diameter scraping operations and for circum-

ference scraping, when cutting methods cannot be

employed,

HOLDING THE WOODWORKING CHISEL

In handling alt turning tools, the handle hand takes a

natural position, being nearer or farther from the end

of the handle depending on the amount of leverage

required. The position of the tool rest hand should be

as illuslrated with turning tool held firmly against the

tool rest and fingers and thumb wrapped around the

turning tool on the opposite side of the tool rest, away

from the rotating workpiece.

TOOL

REST

TOOL REST

WARNING: To avoid Injury from a thrown turning

tool, keep firm hand grip on the tool by wrapping

fingers and thumb around tool. Use both hands

spaced apart for proper leverage and control.

Keep your weight balanced on your feet. Do not rest

your weight on the turning tool or tool rest. Avoid awk-

ward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause

a hand Io move into the workpiece.

MOTOR MAINTENANCE AND

LUBRICATION

1. The bearings, in both end shields of the motor,

have been lubricated at the factory with correct

lubricant. No other part of the motor requires

lubrication.

2, If disassembly of the motor is necessary, it should

be returned to your nearest Sears retail or

mail-order store in order to prevent voiding the

guarantee,

NOTE: The speed of this motor cannot be regulated

or changed,

3_ Every effort should be made to prevent foreign ma-

terial from entering the motor. When operated

under conditions likely to permit accumulations of

dust, dirt, or waste within the motor, a visual inspec-

tion should be made at frequent intervals. Accumu-

lations of dry dust can usually be blown out

successfully.

NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are

particularly susceptible to the accumulation of saw-

dust and wood chips and should be blown out or

"vacuumed" frequently to prevent interference with

normal motor ventilation.
