Tool rest
After loosening the clamping lever, the tool rest support is
moved to the required position on the lathe bed and secured
there.
Move the tool rest close to the work piece. Every wood tur-
ner will choose the best setting for himself/herself. Before
turning on the lathe, the work piece is rotated manually to en-
sure that it has no contact with the tool rest. During the work
process, the lathe is stopped and the tool rest is adjusted at
regular intervals.
Spindle lock
To lock the spindle use the knock out bar. Insert the knock
out bar into the hole provided on the spindle and use the tool
rest as support (Fig. 20).
It is essential that the motor is not turned on during locking
of the spindle.
Locking device (excenter cleat)
If the tailstock or the tool rest support cannot be secured on
the lathe bed, the excenter cleat must be readjusted. Pull the
tailstock or the tool rest support to the end of the lathe bed
and loosely tighten the self-locking nut (Fig. 18 and Fig. 19).

Danger!
• As long as wood turning tools are in contact with the work piece, they have to rest securely on the tool rest.
• In order to prevent trapping your fingers during sanding or polishing work, the tool rest must be removed
from the work piece.
