The lathe can be set up for a faceplate turning operation. The work
piece should be "rough cut" as close as possible to fi nished shape
before mounting. (See Fig.16)
Indexing/Spindle Lock
The dual purpose indexing/spindle lock is positioned on the top of
the headstock for ease of use. The headstock indexing feature has 12
equally spaced positions. The spring loaded locking pin assembly is
engaged by turning the knob a half turn allowing it to drop into the
desired position. To disengage, lift the lock knob up and turn a half
turn either direction. (See Fig.17 & Fig.18)
The 12 position indexing feature allows accurate pattern work on
projects such as straight fl uting, grooving, drilling, lay out and more.
This feature also allows the user to lock the spindle for removing
face plates, chucks and other accessories without needing two tools.
To use the spindle lock, disengage the locking pin by lifting up and
rotating a half turn. The pin will engage in the closest pin available.
Once locked an accessory such as a face plate can be removed with
the wrench supplied.

ELETRICAL REQUIREMENTS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accord-
ance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fi t the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equip-
ment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conduc-
tor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualifi ed electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
Fig. 17
the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
