Assembling the bed extension (available as an option)
The bed extension can be used to extend the lathe bed and
for the outrigger. This accessory is not part of the shipment.
1. Before attaching the bed extension, push the tailstock
away from the end of the lathe bed and remove the stop
rod.
2. Using a second person, position the bed extension flush
with the lathe bed and insert the Allen set screws with the
washers through the holes in the bed extension into the
threaded holes on the lathe bed.
3. Lift the lathe bed extension slightly above the top edge of
the lathe bed. Tighten the screws only so much that the
extension is held in position.
IMPORTANT : So, the tailstock can easily be moved along
the groove, the lathe bed and extension have to be
accurately aligned.
Advice : Before tightening the bed
extension, guide the tailstock over the connection point
and tighten it. This will align the connection.
4. If required, use a rubber hammer or a hammer with a wooden block
underneath in order to align the bed extension with the lathe bed.
Never directly hit the metal surface with a metal hammer!
Tap until both surfaces and the insides are completely aligned.
5. Then tighten the Allen set screws. Ensure that the alignment of both
parts does not change.
6. To prevent the tailstock accidentally falling out, insert the stop rod at
the end of the bed extension.
Outrigger
If the bed extension is used as an outrigger, fix it to the specified points
on the side of the lathe bed or on the left side of the lathe. Insert the supplied shaft extension into the
tool rest support.
