Foot Brake
This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (see Figure 10) to quickly stop the spindle instead of allowing it to coast to a stop on its own. Pushing the foot brake while the spindle is ON also cuts power to the motor.
After the foot brake is used, the spindle ON/ OFF lever must be returned to the OFF (middle) position to reset the spindle switches, which will enable spindle rotation.
