1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Open rear cover on the lathe base (Figure
106).
3.
Use a 24mm wrench and adjust the belt
tension hex nuts (see Figure 106) there is
approximately 10mm belt deflection on each
belt when pressed firmly in the center in

Brake and Switch

After consistent lathe usage, it will be necessary
to compensate for brake lining wear.
To adjust the brake and brake switch:
1.
DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove the side motor cover.
3.
Use a 16mm wrench and adjust the brake
rod (Figure 107) so, when the foot pedal is
pressed, the brake band firmly clamps the
drum. When released the brake band should
be loose on the drum.
Note: Replace the brake band when the fric-
tion material is worn down to approximately
2mm thick.
