HOW TO USE:

1. Setup: Secure the lathe to a sturdy workbench and connect it to the appropriate power source (consult the manual for voltage requirements). Install the desired cutting tool in the tool post and adjust the height using the compound slide.
2. Prepare your workpiece: Ensure the workpiece is properly sized and securely mounted between the centers of the headstock and tailstock.
3. Select speed and feed rate: Choose the appropriate spindle speed and feed rate based on the material, application, and desired finish. Refer to the lathe’s manual or cutting tool charts for recommended settings.
4. Start the lathe: Engage the clutch and gradually increase the spindle speed to the desired setting.
5. Machining: Move the cutting tool against the rotating workpiece using the carriage handles. The feed rate determines the speed at which the tool removes material.
6. Stopping: Once machining is complete, disengage the clutch and allow the lathe to come to a complete stop before turning off the power.
