3. Remove the plastic shipping tube
from headstock base. Immediately
screw the Headstock Lockpin into
the threaded hole at the bottom of
the headstock. Insert the operating
bar into the hole in the Lockpin and
firmly tighten the Lockpin to lock the
headstock in position; then remove
the operating bar. NOTE: When the
pin is fully engaged the groove
machined into the pin furthest from
the thread should line up with the
edge of the hole in the casting. By
doing this the pin will be engaged in
the hole of the swivel pin.
4. Loosen the Lockpin 1 – 2 turns.
Push the Headstock Release
Handle down and rotate the
Headstock so the spindle points to
the tailstock and lines up parallel to
the lathe bed. Tighten lock pin
again.
Note: Do not use excessive force when
tightening the Lockpin.
Important note: Swiveling the head before inserting
the lock pin may result in the tapped hole on the
Swivel pin becoming mis-aligned.
5. Assemble the handles:
Note: Some handles may come pre-
assembled.
Toolrest Clamp Handle -
insert the rod through the handle
and screw the ball knobs onto
each end of the rod.
Toolslide Clamp Handle - screw
the lock handle into the toolslide.
Tailstock Clamp Handle -
screw the lock handle into the
tailstock.
Adding an Extension Bed
Each cast iron extension bed adds 510mm
(20in.) to the lathe's capacity to turn between
centers.
1. Clean the joining ends of both bed sections
with a petroleum-based solvent. Make sure
there are no dents or burrs on either mating
surface. Remove burrs and high spots with
a smooth file.
2. Screw in cap screws tight
3. Secure the bed sections together with four
M12x30 cap screws using a 10mm Allen
wrench. It may be necessary to move the
lathe so the cap screws can be reached
