Safety Foot Brake
This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (see 
Figure 9) to quickly stop the spindle instead of 
allowing it to coast to a stop on its own. Pressing 
the foot brake while the spindle is ON also cuts 
power to the motor.
After the foot brake is used, the spindle lever 
must be returned to the OFF (middle) position to 
reset the spindle switches before spindle rotation 
can be re-started.
