Align the Centres
It is now necessary to check the alignment
of the tailstock to the headstock. Fit both
centres and slide the tailstock down
towards the headstock until both centres
touch and lock the tail centre in place. If
the 2 centres do not meet correctly, undo
the yellow headstock rotation locking lever
and move the headstock slightly until the
centres are aligned. Now lock the
headstock.
It will be necessary to repeat this
procedure whenever the headstock has
been moved away from the spindle turning position.
Adjusting the Toolrest
The toolrest can be moved along the bed of the lathe. To release the toolrest pull up
the silver toolrest locking lever. The toolrest can now freely slide along the bed, when
it is positioned where required, clamp it firmly in place by pressing the lever firmly
down.

Toolrest Height Adjustment Lever
Toolrest Locking Lever
The height of the toolrest can also be adjusted, using the black lever. This type of
lever can rotated to a more convenient position, without moving the thread, by pulling
the lever away from the thread to disengage the ratchet teeth and then rotating it.
