8.Install the live center into the tailstock quill and tighten the quill lock handle to lock the quill in position (refer to Page 22 for addi- tional instructions).

9.Slide the tailstock toward the workpiece until the point of the live center touches the workpiece center mark, then lock the tailstock in this position.

10.Loosen the quill lock handle and rotate the tailstock handwheel to push the live center into the workpiece at least a 1⁄4".

Do not press the workpiece too firmly with the tailstock or the bearings will bind and overheat. Likewise, do not adjust too loosely or the workpiece will spin off the lathe. Use good reason and care, otherwise, serious personal injury could result.
