Installing the tailstock and base lock levers (Fig. 3)

Pass the shoulder screw (A) through the spring (B) and the

Lock lever (C). Then thread tailstock and base lock levers

into place.

SPRING-LOAD LOCK LEVERS (Fig. 3a-3b)

The spring-load lock levers for the tailstock spindle and the

tool rest are of four-piece condtruction.

Installing the spindle and tool rest lock Levers (Fig. 4)

Thread spindle lock lever (D) and tool rest lock lever (E) into

place.

If either lock lever has come loose from the lathe or

has come apart in shipping, reassemble it and thread into

place.

CAUTION: The spring-loaded lock levers on the

lathe are designed to minimize interference with other lathe

parts or the workpiece. To operate, push the lock lever in

and turn clockwise to tighten. Pulling the lock lever outward

will disengage the threaded shaft, allowing you to reposition

the lock lever so it is out of the way.

USING A FACEPLATE

Mount the workpiece onto the faceplate with brass wood

screws. Make sure the screws are not so long that they will

enter the area of the workpiece where material is to

be removed.

• When installing the faceplate (A), thread it onto the end of

the headstock spindle and hand tighten.

• Place the at wrench (B) over the ats on the faceplate.

• Insert the tip of the push-out rod (C) into one of the slots

in the side of the headstock spindle.

• While gripping the push-out rod rmly, turn the at wrench

to either tighten or loosen the faceplate.

• Remove the push-out rod and at wrench. If the faceplate

is being removed, continue turning it until it comes off the

spindle threads.
