Tailstock Barrel
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 14 to 12 of a turn.
Check the locking mechanism:
• If it is satisfactory, no further adjust- ments are necessary.
• If it is not satisfactory, repeat steps 2- 3.

Lock Handles
The lock handles on the tool rest holder and the tailstock can be tightened for a stronger lock- 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 14 turn one of the lock nuts shown in Figure 13, depending on which component you wish to tighten.
