Spindle.Lock
This lathe is equipped with a spindle lock that can be
engaged to aid in installing and removing the faceplate.
The spindle lock must be released before turning lathe
ON
.
The spindle lock knob has a detent hole and pin that
holds it up and away from the spindle during operation.
Pulling up on the spindle lock knob and rotating it in any
direction allows you to set the spindle lock to the
Run
position. The spindle lock knob will have a noticeable gap
between the bottom of it and the headstock when set
properly (see
Figure 13).
Alternately, you can set the spindle lock knob so it locks
into the spindle. In the
Locked
position, the knob will
be flush with the top of the headstock (see
Figure
14
).
You may need to rotate the spindle slightly to allow the
spindle lock to fully seat itself.
