Mounting a Faceplate or Chuck:
1. With the lathe turned “Off” and
unplugged, use the Spindle Index Lock
to hold the Headstock Spindle in
position.
2. Install the Faceplate or Chuck onto
the spindle threads. A spindle washer
may be used in between the Faceplate
or Chuck to make removal easier.
Warning!
The Faceplate or Chuck body
must contact the shoulder on
the spindle bearing.
3. Disengage the Spindle Index Lock
before turning “On” the lathe.
4. Similarly, use the Spindle Index Lock
to remove the Faceplate or Chuck.
Tool Rest
1. To move the Tool Slide along the
bed, loosen the Camshaft Handle,
move the Tool Slide to the desired
position and tighten the Camshaft
Handle.
2. To adjust the Tool Rest, loosen the
Tool Rest Lock Handle, position the
Tool Rest, and tighten the Tool Rest
Lock Handle.
3. Adjust the Tool Rest close to the
work piece. Exact positioning may be
varied to suit the turner. Before
turning, rotate the stock, by hand, to
make sure it clears the Tool Rest. At
intervals, stop the lathe and readjust
the Tool Rest.
Warning!
Lathe tools and chisels should
remain on the Tool Rest
whenever the tool is in contact
with the work piece.
Remove the Tool Rest when
sanding or polishing so fingers
do not get pinched.
