Aligning Headstock &

Tailstock Centers

To ensure accurate and safe results, make sure that the
headstock and tailstock centers are aligned before you
begin your lathe operation.
To align the headstock and tailstock centers, do these
steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!
2. With the headstock and tailstock centers installed,
slide the tailstock up to the headstock.
3. Loosen the headstock locking lever and swivel the
headstock so that the tips of the centers touch, as
illustrated in Figure 36, then lock the headstock
securely in place.

proper alignment.

Changing V-Belt

To change the V-belt, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the belt safety cover from the back of the
lathe.
3. Pull the motor pulley plates apart so that the V-belt
will slip down to the motor arbor—this will loosen
the V-belt tension (see Figure 37).
4. While keeping the tension off the V-belt, roll it off
the spindle pulley and remove it.
5. Install the new V-belt by reversing Steps 3–4.
