Operations
Tailstock Movement
Tailstock Handwheel (A, Figure 2) – Turn
clockwise to move tailstock spindle forward.
Turn counterclockwise to retract tailstock
spindle.
Tailstock Spindle Lock (B, Figure 2) – Locks
tailstock spindle. Release to adjust with
handwheel.
Tailstock Lock (C, Figure 2) – Locks tailstock in
position on the bed. Release to move the
tailstock assembly closer to or farther from the
headstock.
The tailstock spindle is hollow. This can be
useful for inserting a long bit to drill a hole in the
center of a workpiece on the face plate.
The clamping device on the tailstock has been
factory adjusted; however, if further adjustment
should be needed, slide the tailstock off the end
of the bed, and tighten or loosen the nut (D,
Figure 3) beneath the tailstock.
On/Off Switch
The switch, shown in Figure 4, has a safety
feature to prevent unauthorized use; pull out the
upper piece of the switch and store in a safe
place. The piece must be re-inserted to operate
the lathe.
Work Lamp (JWL-1220 only)
The 20” lathe is provided with a flexible work
lamp which uses a 40-watt bulb (not provided).
Position the work lamp so that wood chips
do not accumulate inside the lamp shade
and pose a fire hazard.
Use only a 40-watt or smaller
bulb in the work lamp.
Spur Center
(Figure 5) – Slides into
headstock and holds the workpiece during
spindle turning.
Thoroughly clean the taper
on the spur center and the inside of the
headstock spindle before mounting the spur
center. Failure to do so may result in
separation of the two and possible injury or
tool damage.
