The clear plastic guard protects the operator from
flying debris as the lathe is turning. To assemble
the guard to the machine:
1. Mount one end of the sliding bar to the back
of the lathe bed using the spacer tube, the
long bolt and washer provided. See Figure
11. Ensure that the spacer tube bevel is
against the lathe bed, positioned so the bar
will be level and parallel to the bed.
2. Before attaching the other end, slide the
tubular bracket onto the bar so the pivot
hinge faces forward. See Figure 12. Ensure
that the spacer tube bevel is against the
lathe bed, positioned so the bar will be level
and parallel to the bed.
3. Secure the other end of the bar to the back
of the lathe bed as described in Step 1.
4. Fasten the clear plastic guard to the sliding
bracket using the four (4) Phillips
®
head
screws already attached to the mounting
plate. Make sure the plastic guard is sand-
wiched between the two metal plates. For
ease of assembly, the locking knobs can be
removed which will allow the mounting
plate to be removed from the assembly.
Reinstall after attaching the clear plastic
panel.
To use, slide the guard assembly over the specif-
ic area of the stock you are turning, loosen the
lock knobs and pull the front edge of the guard
down as low as possible while still allowing
access to the workpiece. Tighten the knobs.
