Operation Overview Stock Inspection & Requirements Operation Before turning a workpiece, inspect all workpieces for the following: To complete a typical operation, the operator Workpiece Type: does the following: Foreign Objects: Large/Loose Knots: Wet or "Green" Stock: Excessive Warping:...
Adjusting Headstock Adjusting Tailstock To position the tailstock along the length of To position the headstock along the length of the bed: the lathe bed: Figure 19 Figure 18 Figure 19. Figure 18. Note: The large clamping hex nut under- neath the tailstock will require occasional adjusting to ensure proper clamping pressure of the tailstock to the bed.
Adjusting Tool Rest Always operate the lathe with the tool rest assembly firmly locked in position. Otherwise, serious personal injury may occur. To adjust the angle or height of the tool rest: To position the tool rest assembly along the length of the lathe bed: Figure Figure 20...

Installing/Removing Tailstock Center Installing the Tailstock Center Figure 24 Figure 25. Removing the Headstock Center Figure 24. Figure The tailstock quill must always be locked in place during lathe operation. Before tighten- ing the quill lock handle, it must be properly aligned with the quill keyway.

Installing Headstock Faceplate Figure 27 To install the headstock faceplate: Figure 26 Figure 27. To prevent the faceplate and workpiece separating from the spindle during opera- tion, the headstock faceplate MUST be firmly threaded onto the spindle and secured in place by fully tightening the two faceplate set screws.

Indexing Figure 34 Figure 33 Figure 34 Always disconnect the lathe from power before using the indexing feature of this lathe. DO NOT start the lathe with the index- ing pin inserted into the spindle; otherwise property damage and personal injury could result.
To set up a spindle turning operation: Spindle Turning Figure 40 Figure 39 Figure 39. Figure 40. Damage to your eyes and lungs could result from using this machine without proper pro- tective gear. Always wear a face shield and respirator when operating this machine.
Page 32
Page 23 Step 1 Figure 41 Do not press the workpiece too firmly with the tailstock or the bearings will bind and overheat. Likewise, do not adjust too loosely or the workpiece will spin off the lathe. Use good judgment and care, otherwise, serious personal injury could result.
Spindle Turning Safety Tips: Faceplate Turning Figure 42 Figure 42. Mounting the Workpiece onto the Faceplate Spindle Turning Page 29 Note: Cut off corners of the workpiece to make it as close to "round" as possible. Damage to your eyes and lungs could result from using this machine without proper pro- tective gear.
Do NOT use screws with tapered heads because they can split the faceplate, or may snap off during operation. Figure 44.
