To remove the live center:
1. Loosen the quill lock handle (if locked)

until the tailstock quill bottoms out, causing
the live center to be forced out of the quill.
The tailstock quill lock handle must always
be locked down while the lathe is in use. The
workpiece can be thrown from the lathe if
this step is not observed. Also, the tailstock
quill should not protrude from the tailstock
housing more than 2'' or the quill will not be
supported enough. Failure to follow these
warnings may result in personal injury.
