5.4.2 Manual lifting method
Use help from an assistant for
the following procedures.
1. Unscrew stud (see O, Figure 5-6) from each
end of bed. (Note: studs can be stored in one
of the threaded holes in lathe legs.)
2. Remove headstock, tailstock and tool rest
support from bed. (Refer to sect. 7.0 for
detailed instructions on adjusting and
removing these items.)
3. Carefully turn bed upside down. Place a mat or
cardboard beneath it to prevent scratching the
bed ways.
4. Install legs with screws and washers (HP1/2/3,
Figure 5-3) using 6mm hex key.
5. Tighten screws firmly.
6. Raise bed and leg assembly right-side up.
7. Rotate levelers (Figure 5-2) as needed to
establish level for the lathe. Tighten hex nut on
each leveler against leg casting.
8. Install headstock, tool support and tailstock,
and both studs (O, Figure 5-6).
5.5 Tool shelf
The tool shelf (N) can be mounted to either end of
lathe with screws and washers (HP4/5).
5.6 Guard (optional accessory)
4mm hex key required.
The guard (part no. 719002) is optional and
purchased separately. See our website for
information.
1. Loosen set screw on outer collar (shown in
Figure 5-4) with 4mm hex key. Slide outer
collar off the guard support rod.
2. Insert guard support rod into mounting bracket
at rear of headstock. You will have to lift up on
spring pin, as shown, to slide guard support
rod into mounting bracket. Release spring pin
and it will snap into position as you slide
support rod farther in.
3. Install outer collar and tighten set screw.
4. The guard can be pivoted to one of two
positions: Operating mode (shown on front
cover) or tilted back for stock loading (Figure
5-5).
5. Pull up on spring pin, and begin tilting guard,
then release spring pin. When guard reaches
either of the two positions, spring pin will
engage.

5.7 Bed extension (optional
accessory)
8mm hex key required.
The 20” bed extension (p/n 719401) is optional and
purchased separately. See our website for
information.
The bed extension can be mounted to the upper or
lower holes of the lathe at tailstock end, and lower
holes at headstock end. Mounting in upper holes
increases spindle length capacity of lathe.
Mounting extension to lower holes allows use of
tool support during outboard turning.
1. Slide tailstock away from edge of bed.
