Before use, the tool rest must be moved out of its
shipping position and centers must be inserted.
For the Model G0658, installing the outboard turn
-
ing attachment is an optional step.
To prepare the lathe:
1. Loosen the release lever and rotate the tool
rest base away from the lathe bed.
2. Loosen the tool rest lock handle and rotate
the tool rest so that it is positioned parallel to
the lathe bed (
Figure 9).

upper slot in the outboard turning attachment,

essary so the slots line up with the other two
holes in the lathe base, then thread in the
other two handles.
4. Firmly tighten the handles to secure the out-
board turning attachment in position
(Figure
