29. Rotate, push in, or pull out the adjustment
cam to adjust the deadman arm so it is as
parallel as possible with the lathe bed in
both the vertical and horizontal plane.
Note
: You may have to rotate the deadman arm
so the arm clevis allows the arm to be tilted
in a particular direction.
— To tilt the arm in the vertical plane, rotate
the knurled adjustment cam.
— To tilt the arm in the horizontal plane, slide
the adjustment cam in or out of the deadman
housings.

28. Using a 3mm hex wrench, loosen the four
locking set screws (Figure 19) that lock the

dovetail lock cap screw at each end of the
taper attachment, as shown in Figure 17.

25. Turn the taper angle control knob (Figure
17), so the taper attachment points to zero
degrees as shown on the scale.
26. Re-tighten both dovetail lock cap screws.
27. Slide the deadman clamp along the lathe
way to a position where the saddle will not
contact the clamp when cutting tapers.
There should be approximately 1" of safety
clearance or "saddle safety gap," as shown
in Figure 18. You must double check this
clearance to prevent a deadman clamp
carriage crash.
