There are literally hours of online reading and videos to not only get you started, but make you pretty good at using these machines in short order. Start with algale's link and then come back and ask here.

BTW, take some picturea of your new toy, that always helps ....

Have fun! :D

Or a Turners Club if that is what you need help on, it makes little difference what is spinning the wood.

You have a Mark 5.

The choice in the getting started thing needs to be 500 for you.

The machine will be slightly different but functionally the same.
