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.
