Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all items listed in the "Box Contents" section (see Specifications) are present and undamaged.
2. Placement: Place the pottery wheel on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Ensure there is enough space around the unit for comfortable operation and to prevent accidental spills.
3. Connect Power: Insert the power adapter into the DC input port on the back of the pottery wheel. Plug the other end of the adapter into a suitable power outlet.
4. Prepare Water Basin: Ensure the removable water basin is correctly seated around the turntable. This basin helps contain clay and water splashes during use.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to create your pottery masterpieces:

1. Prepare Clay: Take a suitable amount of clay and knead it to remove any air bubbles. Shape it into a ball or cone.
2. Center Clay: Place the prepared clay firmly in the center of the turntable. Ensure it is well-adhered to prevent it from flying off during rotation.
3. Power On and Adjust Speed: Turn the power switch to the "ON" position. Use the speed control knob to gradually increase the rotation speed to your desired level (0-140 RPM).
4. Select Direction: Use the bidirectional switch to select either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, depending on your preference and shaping technique.
5. Shape Your Piece: With the wheel rotating, use your hands and the provided tools to center and shape the clay. Keep your hands moist to prevent the clay from sticking.
6. Refine and Detail: Once the basic shape is achieved, use the various plastic and wooden tools to refine details, trim excess clay, and create textures.
7. Dry and Decorate: After shaping, carefully remove your pottery piece from the turntable and allow it to dry completely. Once dry, you can use the included paints and brush to decorate your creation.
