W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
The included live center installs into the tailstock quill
with an MT#2 tapered fit.
Move the tailstock to a safe working distance away
from the tool rest and headstock.
Loosen the quill locking lever, then rotate the quill
handwheel clockwise until the quill extends out from
the tailstock about 1" (see ).
Make sure the mating surfaces of the live center and
quill are free of debris and oily substances before
inserting the center.
Insert the tapered end of the center into the quill
with a quick, firm motion.
Make sure the center is secure by attempting to pull
it out by hand—a properly installed center will not
pull out by hand.
Tighten the quill locking lever to hold the quill and
center in place.
Make sure the quill locking lever is aligned with
the quill keyway to prevent the quill from rotating
during use.
Loosen the quill locking lever.
Hold a clean rag under the center or wear a glove to
catch the center when you remove it.
Rotate the quill handwheel counterclockwise—the
quill will retract back into the tailstock causing the
center to be forced out.
