Push the pedal lever down to verify that the
cam lobe pushes the brake switch plunger in.
When pushed in, the switch should click.
— If the switch does not click, loosen the
switch mounting screws, push the brake
pedal all the way down, then move the
switch closer to the cam lobe until it
clicks. Secure the switch in place at this
location.
Note:
When the brake pedal is released, there
should be an approximate 3mm gap between
the switch plunger and the cam lobe.

The leadscrew is secured to a connecting collar
that is part of the headstock drivetrain with
the use of a soft-metal shear pin. The shear pin
is designed to break and disengage the power
transfer to the leadscrew to help protect more
expensive lathe components in the case of a
carriage crash or the lathe is overloaded.
Contact South Bend to order a replacement shear
pin (Part Number PSB10530934) or use the
specifications in
Figure 138
to fabricate your
own.
