Setup

Before use, the tool rest must be moved out of its shipping position and centers must be inserted. For the Model G0658, installing the outboard turn- ing attachment is an optional step.

To prepare the lathe:

1.Loosen the release lever and rotate the tool rest base away from the lathe bed.

2.Loosen the tool rest lock handle and rotate the tool rest so that it is positioned parallel to the lathe bed (Figure 9).

3.Tilt the outboard turning attachment as nec- essary so the slots line up with the other two holes in the lathe base, then thread in the other two handles.

4.Firmly tighten the handles to secure the out- board turning attachment in position (Figure 11).
