on Page 16 to solve the
problem.

18. Move the spindle ON/OFF lever up to the
OFF position, reset the stop button by
twisting it clockwise until it pops out, then
restart the spindle with the lever.
19. Push the foot brake. The lathe should come

— If the foot brake has no effect on the lathe,
push the stop button, and refer to V-Belts
and Brake & Switch on Page 81 to
make any required adjustments.

The kill switch shown in Figure 27 should
prevent the lathe from starting while this
cover is removed.
21. Stand away from all the exposed gears on
the side of the headstock, and attempt to
start the lathe.
— If the lathe starts, the safety switch is not
functioning properly and may need to be
replaced before the machine can be safely
operated.

lathe.
