7. With workpiece still attached, insert spur cen-
ter into headstock spindle (refer to Installing/
Removing Headstock Center on Page 22
for additional instructions).
Note: Use the tool rest to support the oppo-
site end of workpiece so that the workpiece
and spur center do not separate during
installation.
8. Install live center into tailstock quill and
tighten quill lock lever to lock quill in position
(refer to Page 22 for additional instructions).
9. Slide tailstock toward workpiece until point of
live center touches workpiece center mark,
then lock tailstock in this position.
10. Loosen quill lock lever and rotate tailstock
handwheel to push live center into workpiece
at least a
1
⁄4".
11. Properly adjust tool rest to the workpiece
(see Adjusting Tool Rest on Page 21).
12. Before beginning lathe operation, rotate
workpiece by hand to ensure that there is
safe clearance on all sides.
Keep lathe tool resting on tool rest ENTIRE
time that it is in contact with workpiece or
when preparing to make contact between
lathe tool and workpiece. Otherwise, spin-
ning workpiece could force lathe tool out
of your hands or entangle your hands with
workpiece. Failure to heed this warning
could result in serious personal injury.
Do not press workpiece too firmly with
tailstock or bearings will bind and over-
heat. Do not adjust tailstock too loosely or
workpiece will spin off lathe. Use good judg-
ment and care, otherwise, serious personal
injury could result from workpiece being
ejected at high speeds.
Spindle Turning Tips:
• When turning the lathe ON, stand away from
the path of the spinning workpiece until the
spindle reaches full speed and you can verify
that the workpiece will not come loose.
• Use the slowest speed when starting or stop-
ping the lathe.
• Select the right speed for the size of workpiece
that you are turning (refer to Figure 15 on
Page 19).
• Keep the turning tool on the tool rest the
ENTIRE time that it is in contact with the
workpiece.
• Learn the correct techniques for each tool
you will use. If you are unsure about how to
use the lathe tools, read books or magazines
about lathe techniques, and seek training
from experienced and knowledgeable lathe
users.
Eye injuries or respiratory problems can
occur while operating this tool. Wear per-
sonal protective equipment to reduce your
risk from these hazards.
