Using a faceplate
Mount the workpiece onto the faceplate using brass
wood screws. Do not use screws that are long
enough to enter the area of the workpiece where
material is to be removed.
Note: The faceplate has an open centre, so that
the drill bit can go completely through the
workpiece when drilling through a workpiece from
the tailstock.
Installing or removing a faceplate (Fig. 4)
1. When installing a faceplate (1), thread it onto the
end of the headstock spindle and hand-tighten it.
2. Place the wrench (2) over the flats on the
faceplate.
Note: The headstock spindle is belt driven, so
it will turn freely if it is not held stationary while
the faceplate is tightened or loosened.
3. Insert the tip of the push-out rod (3) into one of
the slots in the side of the headstock spindle.
4. While gripping the push-out rod firmly, turn the
wrench in order to either tighten or loosen the
faceplate.
5. Remove the push-out rod and wrench. If the
faceplate is being removed, continue to turn it
until it comes off the spindle threads.
Installing the spur and the centre (Fig. 5 and 6)
1. Insert the shaft of the spur (1) into the hollow
centre of the headstock spindle (Fig. 5).
2. Insert the shaft of the tailstock centre into the
hollow centre of the tailstock spindle (Fig. 6).
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE LATHE UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED
AND ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
