This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (Figure
38) to quickly stop the spindle. Pushing the foot
brake while the spindle is ON cuts power to the
motor and stops the spindle. Once stopped, the
spindle lever MUST be returned to the neutral
position before the spindle can be restarted.

Using the foot brake to stop the lathe reduces
risk of an entanglement injury from allowing
the lathe to coast to a stop. Use the foot brake
to stop the lathe whenever possible.
