the lathe bed and place safely aside. Release the locking handle and slide the asssembly off the lathe bed, see fig

Insert the push rod into the machined hole on the
spindle, place the supplied spanner over the
faceplate boss and while holding the push rod,
rotate the spanner anti-clockwise to loosen the
face plate. Unscrew and place safely away, see fig
