Additional Safety for Wood Lathes
1. KEEpING GUARDS IN pLAcE. to prevent
entanglement hazards, make sure all doors
and guards are secured in place and that
the lathe sits on a flat, stable surface.
8. WORKpIEcE cONDITION. to prevent the
workpiece breaking apart and flying at the
operator, always inspect the condition of
the workpiece. do not turn pieces with
knots, splits, and other potentially danger-
ous conditions. make sure joints of glued-
up pieces have high quality bonds and will
not fly apart during operation.
2. EyE/fAcE pROTEcTION. Airborne wood
dust and debris can be hazardous to the
eyes/face and may cause allergies or long-
term respiratory health problems. Always
wear eye protection or a face shield and a
respirator when operating the lathe.
9. STOppING LATHE. do not stop the lathe
by using your hand against the workpiece
which could cause serious injury. Allow the
lathe to stop on its own.
3. USING cENTERS. When using centers,
be certain the workpiece has been prop-
erly embedded on them and that there is
adequate clearance for the full rotation.
10. SANDING/pOLISHING. to maintain an
adequate and safe working area, always
remove the tool rest when performing sand-
ing or polishing operations on the rotating
workpiece.
4. ADJUSTING TOOL REST. to prevent the
turning tool and your hands being pulled
into the spinning workpiece, always adjust
the tool rest to provide proper support for
the turning tool you will be using. test the
tool rest clearance by rotating workpiece by
hand before connecting the lathe to power.
11. MATERIAL REMOvAL RATE. Attempting
to remove too much material at once may
cause the workpiece to fly out of the lathe.
12. pREvENTING THROWN WORKpIEcE.
make sure that lathe is in its lowest speed
when starting up. An out-of-balance
workpiece or high rpm start can eject the
workpiece.
5. TURNING SpEED. select the correct turn-
ing speed for your work, and allow the lathe
to gain full speed before using.
6. USING SHARp cHISELS. Keep lathe chis-
els properly sharpened and held firmly on
the tool rest when turning.
13. fAcEpLATE TURNING. When faceplate
turning, make sure the faceplate is securely
attached to the workpiece and it is properly
attached to the spindle. Always use lathe
chisels on the downward spinning side of
the workpiece only.
7. OpERATING DAMAGED LATHE. never
operate the lathe with damaged or worn
parts that fly apart during operation.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this lathe. Accidents are frequently
caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this lathe with respect and caution to
reduce the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.

cleanup
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoid
using these products
to clean machinery.
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative has been your machine's
close ally and guardian since it left the factory.
If your machine arrived to you free of rust, then
be thankful that the rust preventative protected
it during its journey...and try to stay thankful as
you clean it off, because it can be challenging to
remove if you are unprepared and impatient.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled.
Minimize your risk by only
using these products in a
well ventilated area.
Plan on spending some time cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this will
reward you with smooth sliding parts and a better
appreciation for the proper care of your machine's
unpainted surfaces.
NOTICE
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner that may
damage painted surfaces. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.
Although there are many ways to successfully
remove the rust preventative, these instructions
walk you through what works well for us.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
•
•
•
Disposable Rags
Cleaner/degreaser (see below)
Safety glasses & disposable gloves
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1. Put on safety glasses and disposable
gloves.
H9692—Orange power cleaner & Degreaser
one of the best cleaners we've found for quickly
and easily removing rust preventative.
2. Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative
with a liberal amount of your cleaner/degreas-
er and let them soak for few minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily.
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preven-
tative on flat surfaces, such as tables, use
a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the
majority of the coating before wiping it off with
your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or you
may scratch your machine.)
figure 6. model h9692 industrial orange power
Cleaner/degreaser (99.9% biodegradable).
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
Note: In a pinch, automotive degreasers, mineral
spirits or WD•40 can be used to remove rust pre-
ventative. Before using these products, though,
test them on an inconspicuous area of your paint
to make sure they will not damage it.

Site considerations
Weight Load
Physical Environment
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-
piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
The physical environment where your machine
is operated is important for safe operation and
the longevity of its components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-
cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-
tenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device.
Lighting
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Using Machine Mounts
Mounting
using machine mounts, shown in figure 9, gives
the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-
tion. the large size of the foot pads distributes
the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the
floor.
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
generally, you can either bolt your machine to

options are described below. Whichever option
you choose, it is necessary to level your machine
with a precision level.
bolting to concrete floors
Anchor studs and lag shield anchors with lag
screws (figure 8) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. consult with your electrician
to ensure compliance with local codes.

power connection
Before the machine can be connected to the
power source, an electrical circuit must be made
available that meets the minimum specifications
given in the circuit Requirements on page 9.
if a power circuit has not been prepared for the
machine, do that now. to ensure a safe and code-
compliant setup, we strongly recommend that all
electrical work be done by a qualified electrician.
Note: Make sure the dog-point end of the
lock lever fits into the quill keyway so that
the quill can move in and out of the tailstock
without rotating.

2. use a wood mallet to tap the point of the spur
center into the workpiece where the lines
intersect so that it leaves a center mark, then
remove the center. do this to both ends of the
workpiece.
before beginning any turning operation
that uses the live center installed into the
tailstock quill, make sure the spur and
live centers are properly aligned (refer to
Aligning Centers on Page 33 for detailed
instructions). failure to head this warning
could result in the workpiece being thrown

12. test the setup by hand-turning the workpiece
to make sure there is enough clearance all
the way around before turning the lathe ON.
8. With the live center installed in the quill, draw
the quill back into the spindle as far as pos-
sible without forcing the center to release.
Spindle Turning Tips:
Note: This will give the quill and center the
greatest amount of support to safely hold the
workpiece during operation.
•
When turning the lathe ON, stand to the side
of the spinning direction until the lathe reach-
es full speed and you can verify that the lathe
will not throw the workpiece.
9. Loosen the tailstock lock lever, slide the
tailstock toward the workpiece until the live
center touches the workpiece centerpoint,
then lock the tailstock in this position.
•
•
use the slowest speed when starting or stop-
ping the lathe, and when rough cutting.
select the correct speed for the size of
the workpiece you are turning. use slower
speeds for large workpieces (4" diameter and
over); use the middle range speeds for medi-
um sized workpieces (2"–4" diameter); and
use faster speeds for small sized workpieces
(under 2" in diameter).
10. use the quill handwheel to push the live
1
center into the workpiece at least a ⁄4", then
tighten the quill lock lever to secure the cen-
ter and quill in place.
Donotpressthelivecenterintotheworkpiece
too firmly or the center bearings will bind
and overheat. Likewise, do not press the
center too lightly or the workpiece could
come loose and spin off the lathe. Use good
judgement. Serious personal injury could
result if care is not taken in this procedure.
•
•
Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the
entire time that it is approaching the
workpiece and is in contact with it.
Learn the correct techniques for each tool
you will use. if you are unsure, read books or
magazines about lathe techniques and seek
training from experienced users.

2. use the mark made in Step 1 to center the
faceplate onto the workpiece back, then
attach it with wood screws that do not have
tapered heads (see figure 37 for an exam-
ple).
faceplate Turning
Faceplate turning, as shown in figure 35, is when
a workpiece is mounted to the faceplate that is
then mounted to the spindle. this type of turning
is usually done with open-faced workpieces like
bowls or plates.
figure 37. Attaching the faceplate to a backing
block, which is glued to the workpiece.
3. thread the faceplate onto the spindle and
tighten securely.
figure 35. typical faceplate turning operation.
Attaching faceplate to Workpiece
1. mark the center of the workpiece back in
the same manner as in Spindle Turning on
page 24.
Using a backing block
if wood screws cannot be used to attach the face-
plate to the workpiece, then use a backing block
that is securely glued to the workpiece.
Note: Cut off the excess corners of the
workpiece to make it as close to "round" as
possible.
To mount your workpiece to a backing block:
1. make the backing block from a piece of scrap
wood that is flat on both sides and free of
knots or splits.
NOTICE
DO NOT use screws with tapered heads
to attach the faceplate because they could
split the faceplate, or the screws could
snap off during operation. See the illustra-
tion in figure 36 for examples.
2. Locate and mark the center of both the
workpiece and the backing block.
3. drill a 1⁄4" hole completely through the center
of the backing block.
4. Looking through the hole in the backing block
to line it up with the center of the workpiece,
glue and clamp the backing block to the
workpiece.

incorrect
Note: Allow the glue joint to completely cure
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Follow the instructions above to attach the
faceplate to the backing block.

Outboard Turning
Sanding/finishing
Using the Lathe
outboard turning is a variation of faceplate turn-
ing and is usually done when stock diameter is
greater than 12''. For the size of the model g0462
and its minimum turning speed, we recommend a
maximum diameter of 17'' for outboard turning.
the lathe can be used for finishing procedures
after the turning operations are complete and
before removing the workpiece from the lathe,
such as sanding, polishing, and applying finishes
by hand (see figure 40 for an example).
the lathe setup at 90˚ for outboard turning uses
the tool rest with the pivot arm extended, as
shown in figure 38.
Note: When using the lathe to sand or finish the
workpiece, remove the tool rest to prevent entan-
glement hazards. Use the slowest speed for safer
control and better results.

damaged V-belt.
Any other unsafe condition.
Lubrication
since all the bearings for the model g0462 are
sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave
them alone unless they need to be replaced. do
not lubricate them.
cleaning
Cleaning the model g0462 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. if any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it.
Wipe a lightly oiled shop rag on the outside spin-
dle threads. do not allow any oil to get on the
inside mating surface of the spindle.
use the quill handwheel to extend the quill all the
way out, then wipe the outside of the quill with a
lightly oiled shop rag. do not allow any oil to get
on the inside quill mating surfaces.
remove any debris or oily substances from inside
the spindle and quill.
Lathe bed
protect the unpainted cast iron lathe bed by wip-
ing it clean after every use—this ensures mois-
ture from wood dust does not remain on the bare
metal surfaces. Keep your lathe bed rust-free with
regular applications of quality lubricants.

Aligning centers
Replacing v-belt
to ensure accurate and safe results, make sure
that the spindle and quill centers are aligned
before beginning operations.
the pulley system that allows the model g0462 to
operate at variable speeds also keeps the V-belt
properly tensioned. however, if the V-belt shows
signs of cracking, splitting, or any other damage,
we recommend you replace it to ensure optimum
power transmission.
To align the centers:
1. disConneCt LAthe From poWer!
2. remove the tool rest from the bed.
To replace the v-belt:
1. disConneCt LAthe From poWer!
3. install the centers, then slide the tailstock up
to the head so that the centers are facing
each other, as illustrated in figure 49.
2. remove the V-belt safety cover from the
back of the lathe.
3. pull the motor pulley plates apart so that
the V-belt slips down to the motor arbor, as
shown in figure 50. this will decrease the
V-belt tension.

SEcTION 8: WIRING & ELEcTRIcAL
these pages are current at the time of printing. however, in the spirit of improvement, we may make chang-
es to the electrical systems of future machines. study this section carefully. if there are differences between
your machine and what is shown in this section, call technical support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance
BeFore making any changes to the wiring on your machine.
Wiring Safety Instructions
1. SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that
is connected to a power source is extremely
dangerous. Touching electrified parts will
result in personal injury including but not lim-
ited to severe burns, electrocution, or death.
Disconnect the power from the machine
before servicing electrical components!
5. WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged
wires or components increase the risk of seri-
ous personal injury, fire, or machine damage.
If you notice that any wires or components
are damaged while performing a wiring task,
replace those wires or components.
6. MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown
in these diagrams is current at the time of
printing but may not match your machine. If
you find this to be the case, use the wiring
diagram inside the motor junction box.
2. MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring
beyond what is shown in the diagram may
lead to unpredictable results, including seri-
ous injury or fire. This includes the installation
of unapproved aftermarket parts.
7. CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capaci-
tors and power inverters store an electrical
charge for up to 10 minutes after being dis-
connected from the power source. To reduce
the risk of being shocked, wait at least this
long before working on capacitors.
3. WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening
during machine operation. Double-check all
wires disconnected or connected during any
wiring task to ensure tight connections.
4. CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST fol-
low the requirements at the beginning of this
manual when connecting your machine to a
power source.
8. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are
experiencing difficulties understanding the
information included in this section, contact
