sure to remove the two Pins used to tighten the jaws.
6. Center the tip of the Tailstock Center (part #50) in the middle of the other end of
the workpiece. Make sure there is sufficient tension on the workpiece to keep it
securely in place. Then, tighten the Socket Screw (part #54) to lock the Tailstock
(part #45) in place.

carefully, use the Hand Wheels (part #36) to move the Cross Slide (part #28) and
Longitudinal Slide (part #35) in order to make the desired cuts on the workpiece.
10. Do not force the Mini Bench Lathe or tool bit to remove material faster than they
are designed to cut. Make sure to feed the tool bit gradually into the workpiece.

the workpiece has stopped turning. Then, unplug the Mini Bench Lathe from its
electrical outlet.
