[[File:Lathe1 onandoff.jpg|thumb|Start Stop Switch and Activation Lever of Lathe 1]]A common difficulty with using these lathes is activation. The images on the right demonstrate the differences between Lathe 1 and Lathe 2, please refer to the video above for more information. Note that the [[:File:Lathe1 onandoff.jpg|activation lever]] on Lathe 1 needs to be pulled out before being moved up and down. It also has a neutral position. The lever must be in neutral position for the machine to turn on. If this happens, ensure that the lever is fully in forward or reverse. It is safer to run the machine in forward because the chips will tend to fall down and into the tray rather than fly up and out. | [[File:Lathe1 onandoff.jpg|thumb|Start Stop Switch and Activation Lever of Lathe 1]]A common difficulty with using these lathes is activation.
