10.Push the pedal lever down to verify that the cam lobe pushes the brake switch plunger in. When pushed in, the switch should click.

If the switch does not click, loosen the switch mounting screws, push the brake pedal all the way down, then move the switch closer to the cam lobe until it clicks. Secure the switch in place at this location.

Note: When the brake pedal is released, there should be an approximate 3mm gap between the switch plunger and the cam lobe.

Leadscrew Shear Pin Replacement

The leadscrew is secured to a connecting collar that is part of the headstock drivetrain with the use of a soft-metal shear pin. The shear pin is designed to break and disengage the power transfer to the leadscrew to help protect more expensive lathe components in the case of a carriage crash or the lathe is overloaded.

Contact South Bend to order a replacement shear pin (Part Number PSB10530934) or use the specifications in Figure 138 to fabricate your own.
