OPERATION
Foot Brake
This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (Figure
45) to quickly stop the spindle. Pushing the foot
brake while the spindle is ON cuts power to the
motor and stops the spindle. Once stopped, the
spindle lever MUST be returned to the neutral
position before the spindle can be restarted.

Using the foot brake to stop the lathe reduces
risk of an entanglement injury from allowing
the lathe to coast to a stop. Use the foot brake
to stop the lathe whenever possible.
Chuck & Faceplate
Mounting
This lathe is shipped with the 3-jaw chuck
installed. This is a scroll-type chuck, meaning
that all three jaws move in unison when
adjusted.
The included 4-jaw chuck features independent
jaws, which are used for square or unevenly-
shaped stock, and to mount work that needs to
be adjusted to near "0" total indicated runout.
If neither chuck can hold your workpiece, the
cast-iron faceplate has slots for T-bolts that hold
standard or custom clamping hardware. With the
correct clamping hardware, this faceplate will
hold non-cylindrical parts.
The chucks and faceplate have a D1-8 camlock
system. A chuck key is used to turn the locking
cams to secure/release the chuck/faceplate.
