ATTACHING THE ON/OFF SWITCH
To prevent damage to the "ON/OFF" switch, the lathe
is shipped with the switch bracket detached. Attach the
switch bracket in the upright position. Align the two holes
in the switch bracket (A) Fig. 1 with the two holes (B) at
the rear of the headstock (C). Attach the switch bracket
(A) to the machine with two pan head screws (D) and
lockwashers (Fig. 2).
ATTACHING THE TOOL REST TO THE LATHE BED
1. Loosen the locking lever (A) Fig. 3. Slide the tool rest
base (B) into the channel of the lathe bed (C) Fig. 4.
NOTE: If the tool rest base will not slide easily into the
channel of the lathe bed, turn the tool rest base over and
loosen the locknut (D) Fig. 3. Tighten the locking lever (A)
Fig. 4 securely.
2. IMPORTANT: If the clamping action on the tool rest
base (B) Fig. 4 is too tight or too loose on the lathe bed,
remove the base and turn the nut (D) Fig. 4 clockwise to
tighten clamping action, or counter-clockwise to loosen
the clamping action. Attach the tool rest base on the
lathe bed.

Do not use highly volatile solvents such as gasoline, naphtha, acetone or lacquer thinner for cleaning your machine.
After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax.
