Adjustments
Make sure all levers and
locking handles are tightened before operating
the lathe.
9.1
Tool rest
Referring to Figure 10:
The tool rest assembly is designed to allow
adjustment for height, position on the bed, and
angle to the work.
Loosen locking handle (A) on tool rest base to slide
base forward or back, and to angle it to the bed.
Tighten locking handle firmly before operating
lathe.
Loosen small handle (B) to raise or lower tool rest
and angle it to the work. Tighten handle before
operating lathe.

9.2
Tailstock
Referring to Figures 11 and 12:
Loosen locking lever (C) and slide tailstock into
position. Retighten locking lever.
Do not position edge of
tailstock off end of bed. This will result in less
clamping surface and may increase risk of
injury.
To remove tailstock, loosen lever (C) and slide
tailstock off end of bed.
Handle (D) locks and unlocks tailstock quill. (The
handle is adjustable – lift up on handle and rotate it
on pin, then release, making sure it seats itself on
the pin.)
Handwheel (E) advances and retracts quill.
NOTE: If quill is well advanced and won’t respond
to handwheel rotation, push quill toward
handwheel until it engages.
Figure 11
The clamping system has been properly adjusted
by the manufacturer. If in the future it does not
properly lock tailstock in position, remove tailstock
from bed, and turn it over. Adjust cam lock nut
(Figure 12) as needed.

Speed Change
Referring to Figures 13 and 14:
The lathe has three speed ranges, controlled by a
combination of the electronic variable speed dial
(see section 10.0)
and the position of the belt upon
one of three pulley sets. Figure 13 identifies these
ranges. This chart is also affixed to inside of pulley
access door.
When there is no torque on the lathe (i.e. running
without a workpiece attached), each of the lower
settings has an RPM range as follows: (H) 600-
220, (M) 300-110, (L) 160-60.
Figure 13
To move belt to a different pulley:
1. Open upper and lower pulley access doors.
