ADJUSTMENTS
-15-
If you find that the tailstock adjustment handle
spins without moving the tailstock barrel, the
tailstock barrel lock may need to be re-aligned
with the catch slot in the tailstock barrel.
To re-align tailstock barrel lock with the catch
slot, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE LATHE!
2. Loosen the small setscrew from the side of
the tailstock and loosen the tailstock barrel
lock.
3. Pull the tailstock adjustment handle to slide
the barrel out of the tailstock.
4. Locate the catch slot, shown in Figure 14,
and align it with the barrel lock.
5. Insert the barrel, replace the setscrew, and
barely tighten the barrel lock, then back it
off 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 of a turn.

The lock handles on the tool rest holder and the

ing action if the factory set locking action is not
tight enough for your needs. However, take care
not to over-tighten any of the parts.
To tighten the lock handles, do these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE LATHE!
2. Using a 12mm socket or wrench, tighten 1⁄4
turn one of the lock nuts shown in Figure
13, depending on which component you
wish to tighten.
3. Check the locking mechanism:
• If it is satisfactory, no further adjust-
ments are necessary.
• Ifitis not satisfactory,repeat steps 2-
