Tool Rest
Position the tool rest as close to the workpiece as
possible. It should be slightly above the center line
of the workpiece.
Loosen the tool rest with the attached wrench (D,
fig. 4) and slide tool rest to desired position. Re-
tighten with wrench when finished with adjustment.
Adjust the height of the tool rest by loosening the
lever (E, Fig. 4). Tighten the lever when finished
adjusting. NOTE: The lever is spring loaded; simply
pull up on it, rotate it on the pin, and release.
