The tailstock quill lock lever MUST be tight and firmly secure the quill in place before beginning operation. Also, the quill should not protrude from the tailstock more than 2" or the quill will not adequately support the workpiece. Otherwise, the workpiece could come loose and fly at the operator or bystanders resulting in death or serious personal injury.
To remove the live center:
1.Loosen the quill lock lever.
2.Hold a clean rag under the center or wear a glove to catch the center when you remove it.
3.Rotate the quill handwheel counterclockwise to retract the quill back into the tailstock until the center is forced out.

To install the faceplate:
1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.If the spur center is installed, remove it (refer to Page 21 for detailed instructions).
3.Make sure the internal threads of the face- plate and the threads of the spindle are free of any debris, then wipe the threads with a lightly oiled rag to aid in the installation and removal.
4.Use the two included 32mm flat wrench- es to tighten the faceplate, as shown in
Figure 26.
