Foot Brake
This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (see
Figure 10) to quickly stop the spindle instead of
allowing it to coast to a stop on its own. Pushing
the foot brake while the spindle is ON also cuts
power to the motor.
After the foot brake is used, the spindle ON/
OFF lever must be returned to the OFF (middle)
position to reset the spindle switches, which will
enable spindle rotation.
