To install and use steady rest:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces, then
place steady rest base on bedways so trian-

3. Position steady rest with base clamp where
required to properly support workpiece, then
tighten hex nut shown in
Figure 49 to secure
it in place.

reduced.
