Plug it into a proper electrical outlet using the provided non - rewirable 3 - pin plug. Before starting, adjust the turning speed according to the task you're going to do.

When operating, always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and gloves. Keep your hands away from the moving parts. If the power supply is interrupted, the no - volt load release switch will prevent the lathe from restarting on its own, but still double - check before resuming work. For maintenance, regularly clean the lathe to remove wood chips and dust. Check the head and tail stocks for any signs of wear or looseness. Lubricate the moving parts as per the manufacturer's instructions. Keep the product manual handy and refer to the parts list if you need to replace any components. With proper use and maintenance, your Sealey wood lathe will serve you well for a long time.
