Tool Rest

Position the tool rest as close to the workpiece as possible. It should be slightly above the center line of the workpiece.

Loosen the tool rest with the attached wrench (D, fig. 4) and slide tool rest to desired position. Re- tighten with wrench when finished with adjustment.

Adjust the height of the tool rest by loosening the lever (E, Fig. 4). Tighten the lever when finished adjusting. NOTE: The lever is spring loaded; simply pull up on it, rotate it on the pin, and release.
