IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions .
All visitors and children should be kept a safe distance from the work

To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate the equipment in the vicinity
of open containers of flammable liquids (gasoline).
Do not let cord hang over edge of table, bench or counter, or come in
contact with hot manifolds or moving parts .
Do not operate the equipment with a damaged cord or if the
equipment has been dropped or damaged - until it has been
examined by a qualified service technician.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal
to or more than that of the equipment should be used. Cords rated
for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use .
Never use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet . Grasp plug and
pull to disconnect .
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on .
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered floors, benches and areas
around the lathe invite accidents .

Specifications for Extension Cords
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one designed to carry
the current your product will draw . Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition . An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord
