•
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it must
be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with National Electric Code and
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 11) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.
•
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
•
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted
in Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or termi-
nal on the side of the adapter must be securely connected
to a permanent electrical ground such as a properly
grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or
a properly grounded wire system.
•
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are
not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding
means must be tested by a qualified electrician.

EXTENSION
CORDS
•
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in
voltage and loss of power.
•
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to
carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
•
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
•
If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

WARNING:
Make sure unit is off and disconnected from
power source before inspecting any wiring.
The lathe is prewired for use on a 120 volt, 60HZ power supply.
The power supply to the motor is controlled by a single pole
locking rocker switch.
The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch. The
green ground line must remain securely fastened to the
frame to properly protect against electrical shock.

SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
•
Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on the tool,
turn switch OFF and remove the plug from power source.
•
Recheck all locking handles. They must be tightened securely.
•
Make sure all moving parts are free and clear of any
interference.
•
Make sure all fasteners are tight and have not vibrated loose.
•
With power disconnected, test operation by hand for
clearance and adjust if necessary.
•
Always wear eye protection or face shield.
•
After turning switch on, always allow the spindle to come
up to full speed before turning.
•
Be sure spindle runs counterclockwise
when viewing
spindle from the right end (inboard side of headstock).
•
Keep hands clear of spindle, centers, faceplates and
other moving parts of machine.
•
For optimum performance,
do not stall motor or reduce
speed. Do not force the tool into the work.
