center must always be used for the tailstock. If another type of center is used and the
spindle is rotated with a workpiece held between the centers, the center will seize,
damaging the machine.

Clean the tapered hole in the tailstock spindle.
2)
Clean the tapered face of the center.
3)
Fit the center into the center hole.
WARNING
Before fitting the tailstock spindle center, turn off the power supply.
If you attempt to fit the tailstock spindle center while the power is on, the
machine may start operating unexpectedly, and you may be entangled in
