Safety Brake Pedal
This lathe is equipped with a brake pedal (see
Figure 7) to quickly stop the spindle instead of
allowing it to coast to a stop on its own. Pushing
the foot brake while the spindle is ON cuts power
to the motor and stops the spindle.
After the foot brake is used, the spindle lever
must be returned to the OFF (middle) position
to reset the spindle switches before re-starting
spindle rotation.
