To remove the live center:
1.Loosen the quill lock handle (if locked) approximately half a turn counterclockwise.
2.Turn the quill handwheel counterclockwise until the tailstock quill bottoms out, causing the live center to be forced out of the quill.
The tailstock quill lock handle must always be locked down while the lathe is in use. The workpiece can be thrown from the lathe if this step is not observed. Also, the tailstock quill should not protrude from the tailstock housing more than 2'' or the quill will not be supported enough. Failure to follow these warnings may result in personal injury.
