Guard Assembly
The clear plastic guard protects the operator from flying debris as the lathe is turning. To assemble the guard to the machine:
1.Mount one end of the sliding bar to the back of the lathe bed using the spacer tube, the long bolt and washer provided. See Figure 11. Ensure that the spacer tube bevel is against the lathe bed, positioned so the bar will be level and parallel to the bed.
2.Before attaching the other end, slide the tubular bracket onto the bar so the pivot hinge faces forward. See Figure 12. Ensure that the spacer tube bevel is against the lathe bed, positioned so the bar will be level and parallel to the bed.
3.Secure the other end of the bar to the back of the lathe bed as described in Step 1.

4.Fasten the clear plastic guard to the sliding bracket using the four (4) Phillips® head screws already attached to the mounting plate. Make sure the plastic guard is sand- wiched between the two metal plates. For ease of assembly, the locking knobs can be removed which will allow the mounting plate to be removed from the assembly. Reinstall after attaching the clear plastic panel.
To use, slide the guard assembly over the specific area of the stock you are turning, loosen the lock knobs and pull the front edge of the guard down as low as possible while still allowing access to the workpiece. Tighten the knobs.
