This will assure lathe clearance duringthe refinishing process. After this adjustment hasbeen completed, tighten the pivot-locking lever.The Lathe is Shown in Position9.1 Loosen the head centering lock lever.9.4 Attach the dial indicator and clamp system tothe vehicle wheel suspension and position the end ofthe stylus on the target surface perpendicular to thecutting head assembly.9.2 Position the cutting head assembly at a locationso the centerline mark on the head is centered on thewidth of the brake rotor.
