Failure to properly secure a workpiece to the faceplate could cause the workpiece to be thrown from the lathe with deadly force. To reduce this risk, use a minimum of THREE independent clamping devices to hold the workpiece onto the faceplate.

To mount a non-concentric workpiece to the faceplate:
1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.Use appropriate device to protect ways (refer to Installation & Removal Device subsec- tion).
3.With help from another person or holding device to support workpiece, position it onto faceplate and clamp it in place with a mini- mum of three independent clamping devices (see Figure below for an example).
Be sure to take into account rotational and cutting forces that will be applied to work- piece when clamping it to faceplate. If neces- sary, use
