Aligning Centers

To ensure accurate and safe results, make sure that the spindle and quill centers are aligned before beginning operations.

To align the centers:

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Remove the tool rest from the bed.

3.Install the centers, then slide the tailstock up to the head so that the centers are facing each other, as illustrated in Figure 49.

Figure 49. Center tips touching to ensure

alignment.

4.Loosen the head lock lever, adjust the head position so that center tips touch, then re- tighten the lock lever to hold the head in place.

Note: If the spur center is lower than the live center, use shims under the head. If the live center is lower, use shims under the tailstock.

Replacing V-Belt

The pulley system that allows the Model G0462 to operate at variable speeds also keeps the V-belt properly tensioned. However, if the V-belt shows signs of cracking, splitting, or any other damage, we recommend you replace it to ensure optimum power transmission.

To replace the V-belt:

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Remove the V-belt safety cover from the back of the lathe.

3.Pull the motor pulley plates apart so that the V-belt slips down to the motor arbor, as shown in Figure 50. This will decrease the V-belt tension.

5.Install the new V-belt by reversing Steps 3–4.

6.Re-install the V-belt safety cover before con- necting the lathe to power.
