(A) Fig. 23 two full turns. Use the supplied wrench (B) Fig. 23B to loosen the faceplate, then remove the face plate from the spindle.

IMPORTANT: For emergencies, use ONLY the safety cover to stop the machine. Also, when leaving the machine, be certain that the power to the machine is off by lowering the safety cover. The control is still energized as long as the power switch is on.

NOTE: To lock the spindle or to utilize the indexing fea- ture, pull the spindle lock pin (A) Fig. 23C out and rotate the pin clockwise. Re-engage it in the pulley holes (B) Fig. 23C, some of which are shown. The spindle pulley has 24 holes accurately spaced around the rim of the pulley. This feature makes it possible to make evenly spaced divisions on turnings which could be fluted, grooved, or have holes drilled at these points.
