Removing Cone and Center Point
1. Insert knockout rod through hole in live
center body.
Note: If knockout rod does not go through
body, slowly rotate threaded center back
and forth until knockout rod is completely
through.

Serious injury or death can occur from
getting entangled in, crushed between,
or struck by rotating parts on a machine!
Rotating workpieces can come loose and
strike operator or bystanders with deadly
force if they are improperly secured,
rotated too fast, or are not strong enough
for the rotational forces required for
turning. Improper tool setup or usage can
cause tool kickback or grabbing, resulting in impact injury or entanglement. To
reduce the risk of operator (or bystander)
injury or death, anyone operating the
machine MUST completely heed all hazards and warnings in this instruction
manual.
DO NOT use live center if it feels hot to
the touch after running. Allow live center
to cool and back off pressure to the tailstock. Continuing to run the live center
when it is overheating could result in
premature bearing failure and equipment
damage.
