The faceplate is used for removing material from the face of the workpiece, such as in hollowing operations. The faceplate can be installed only if the center has been removed from the headstock spindle.

To install the faceplate onto the spindle, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!

2.If the headstock center is installed, remove it (refer to Page 18 for instructions).

3.Thread the faceplate onto the headstock spindle.

4.Using the two included 34mm flat wrenches, tighten the faceplate, as shown in Figure 21.

Note: To remove the faceplate, reverse Steps 3–4.

For detailed instructions on mounting a workpiece to the faceplate, refer to Faceplate Turning on Page 24.

Always make sure that the workpiece is firmly attached to the faceplate and the faceplate is fully tightened onto the headstock spindle before turning the lathe ON. Otherwise the spinning workpiece or faceplate could fly off the spindle and cause death or seri- ous personal injury.
