7. Return the assembled legstand to its upright
position. It maybe useful at this point to make
sure that the legs are all aligned correctly and
adjust if necessary. The bottoms of the legs are
angled slightly to provide a solid base. During
assembly it is possible for the legs to become
twisted. To align the legs slacken off the nut and
twist the legs so the angle on the bottom of the
leg lies flat on the floor,

.
Correct alignment of the legs and bed bars is
crucial to the success of the lathe assembly.
Misalignment could cause the headstock and
tailstock to be at an angle in relation to the bed
bars.
