Set the speed according to your project, with a range from 400 - 3000 RPM. Use the tool rest to support your cutting tools, and remember to use the positive locking feature for safety. If you need to do larger outboard turning, mount the extension bed in one of the 3 available positions. For the tailstock, ensure the quill is locked properly using the anti - rotation key. When it comes to maintenance, keep the lathe clean after each use. Wipe off any wood chips or dust. Check the motor regularly for any signs of overheating or unusual noises. Lubricate moving parts as recommended in the manual. Also, make sure to keep the RPM display clean for easy reading. Always follow safety guidelines, wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves, and keep your hands away from the moving parts while the lathe is running.
