G0456 Variable Speed Wood Lathe
-19-
To remove the live center:
1. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise until
the tailstock quill bottoms out, causing the
center to be forced out of the quill.
The tailstock quill lock handle must always
be locked down while the lathe is in use. The
workpiece can be thrown from the lathe if
this step is not observed. Also, the tailstock
quill should not protrude from the tailstock
housing more than 2'' or the quill will not be
supported enough. Failure to follow these
warnings may result in personal injury.
4. Make sure the keyway is aligned with the set
screw and tighten the handle (
Figure 18).
Note: This alignment allows the quill to
engage with the internal threads and move
forward under load. Without this alignment,
the quill will just spin and not advance for
-
ward under load.

Installing/Removing
Live Center
The live center installs in the tailstock quill with a
taper fit.
To prevent rusting, we recommend removing cen
-
ters when not in use and coating the tapers with a
light layer of lubricant or metal protectant.
To install the live center:
1. Loosen the quill lock (if locked) approximately
half a turn.
2. Rotate the tailstock handwheel clockwise until
the tailstock quill sticks out of the tailstock
housing about
1
2''.
3. Insert the live center, as shown in Figure 17,
and push firmly.
