Foot Brake

This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (see Figure 9) to quickly stop the spindle instead of allowing it to coast to a stop on its own. Pressing 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 before spindle rotation can be re-started.
