8.2 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged – try to
position equipment within reach of the power
source. If an extension cord becomes necessary,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

Extension Cord Recommendations
Table 1
9.0 Adjustments
Make sure all levers and
locking handles are tightened before operating
the lathe.
9.1 Tool rest
Refer to Figure 9.
The tool rest assembly is designed to allow
adjustment for height, position on the bed, and
angle to the work.
Loosen locking handle (A) on tool rest base by
turning it upward. This allows you to slide base
forward or back, and to angle it to the bed. Tighten
locking handle firmly before operating lathe.
Loosen small handle (B) to raise or lower tool rest
and angle it to the work. Tighten handle before
operating lathe. (The handle is adjustable – pull out
on handle and rotate it on pin, then release,
making sure it seats itself on the pin.)
Figure 9
9.2 Tailstock
Refer to Figures 10 and 11.
Loosen locking lever (C) and slide tailstock into
position. Retighten locking lever.
Do not position edge of
tailstock off end of bed. This will result in less
clamping surface and may increase risk of
injury.
To remove tailstock, loosen lever (C) and slide
tailstock off end of bed.
Handle (D) locks and unlocks tailstock quill. (The
handle is adjustable – pull out on handle and rotate
it on pin, then release, making sure it seats itself on
the pin.)
Handwheel (E) advances and retracts quill.
NOTE: If quill is well advanced and won’t respond
to handwheel rotation, push quill toward
handwheel until it engages.
