Never leave a chuck key in the chuck when it is not in use. If the machine is accidental- ly started, the chuck key can become a pro- jectile and cause serious personal injury.
To remove a chuck:
1.Place a piece of plywood across the lathe bed and position it just under the chuck. The board should be at least 8" wide and 10" long.
2.Locate the 3 socket head cap screws on the back of the back plate and remove 2 of them.
Please see Figure 7.
3.Remove the last screw, while making sure to support the chuck with one hand. The chuck may come off as the last screw is removed so it is important that you are ready to sup- port its weight.
4.Remove the chuck.
