ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

TOOL REST ADJUSTMENTS

You can adjust the height, position and angle of the tool rest

assembly to suit your task at hand. To adjust the tool rest:

1. Loosen the locking lever (Fig. 11 - 1) on the tool rest base to

slide the base back and forth, side to side, or to adjust its angle.

Tighten the locking lever firmly before operating the lathe.

2. Loosen the locking handle (Fig. 11 - 2) to raise and lower

the tool rest or to adjust its angle. Tighten the handle before

operating the lathe.

TAILSTOCK ADJUSTMENTS

1. Loosen the tailstock locking lever (Fig. 12 - 3) and slide the

tailstock into the desired position. Retighten the locking lever.

2. The quill locking handle (Fig. 12 - 2) locks and unlocks the

quill. Use the handwheel (Fig. 12 - 1) to advance and retract the

quill. Retighten the quill locking handle.

SPEED ADJUSTMENTS

This is a variable speed lathe that has three speed ranges.

Choose the low, mid, or high speed range based on your spe-

cific task (see Fig. 13). The belt must be adjusted to change

from one speed range to another. To adjust the belt:

1. Loosen the back cover knob (Fig. 14 - 1), then pull the back

cover (Fig. 14 - 2) up and rotate it out of the way to access the

spindle pulley. Tighten the knob.

NOTE: Adjust the height of the tool rest just below the center

of the workpiece, so that the tool will cut at the center of the

workpiece. See also Fig. 22, p. 17
