Using the Jet 719600 woodworking lathe is a breeze. First, adjust the height of the lathe using the four - inch cast iron risers to your comfort level. Then, you can start setting up your workpiece and tool post. The banjo's non - marring, positive locking wedge system will hold the tool post securely. When you're ready to start, use the spindle lock latch to free up both hands and set the electronic infinitely variable speed according to your needs, which ranges from 40 to 3200 RPM. For precise work, take advantage of the 36 integrated indexing positions. As for maintenance, keep the lathe clean after each use. Wipe down the bed and other parts to prevent dust and debris from building up. Check the tailstock quill locking mechanism regularly to make sure the anti - rotation key is working properly. Also, ensure that the motor is connected to the recommended 20 - amp circuit and only use 230V, 1 - phase input as specified. If you notice any unusual noises or issues during operation, stop using the lathe immediately and check for problems.
