To adjust tool rest:
1.
Loosen tool rest base lock lever and move
tool rest assembly to desired position on
lathe bed, as shown in Figure 19.
Note: To maximize support, the tool rest
base should always be locked on both sides
of the bed. Never pull the tool rest so far back
that it is only secured on one side.
