All visitors and children should be kept a safe distance from the work
area .
To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate the equipment near open
containers of any flammable liquids (such as gasoline or diesel fuel) .
Do not let cord hang over edge of table, bench, counter, or come in
contact with hot manifolds or moving parts .
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches . Form a habit of verifying
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the brake lathe
before turning it on .
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered floors, benches, and areas
around the lathe invite accidents .
BE AWARE OF MOVING PARTS.
Keep hands clear during operation.
Wear proper apparel . Wear no loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry, which may be caught in moving
parts . Non-slip footwear is recommended . Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair .
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
If cutting operation is dusty, use face or dust mask .
Never stand on the brake lathe or trolley . Serious injury could occur
if the brake lathe is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted .
Keep guards in place and in good working order.
Unplug brake lathe before servicing, or when changing accessories
such as insert holders, bits, or cutters .
Do not force or overload the brake lathe . It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed .
Manufacturer recommended maximum loading: 120 RPM and
0 .0348 mm ( .012 inch) cutting depth .
Use the correct attaching components . Do not force or overload a
tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed .
Maintain the brake lathe and its components with care. Keep brake
lathe and its components sharp and clean for best and safest
performance . Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories .
Use only Hunter recommended accessories . The use of non-
recommended accessories may cause risk of injury to persons and
may not produce satisfactory finish results .
Check for damaged parts . Before further use of the brake lathe
and components, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it would operate properly and
perform its intended function . A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced . Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation .
Never leave the brake lathe running while unattended . Turn the
power "OFF ." Do not leave the brake lathe until it comes to a
complete stop .
Use equipment only as described in this manual .

Specifications for Extension Cords
The lathe comes equipped with a 25-foot power cable, which should
be adequate to reach an outlet in most cases .
In the event that an extension cord is needed a good quality/heavy
duty cord must be used . Failure to use an appropriate cord may
induce poor lathe performance and intermittent operation . (For
example: Most drop lights have 16 gauge or smaller wire . A drop
light is not an acceptable extension cord . )
See below for the maximum length and rating of cord required .
12 gauge wire – 7 .62 meters (25 feet) is maximum
extension cord length .
10 gauge wire – 15 .24 meters (50 feet) is maximum
extension cord length .
Power Source Grounding Instructions
In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock . The brake lathe is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug . The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances .
Do not modify the plug provided . If it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician .
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock . The conductor with insulation having
an outer surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor . If repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal .
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel, if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt
as to whether the tool is properly grounded .
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs
and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug .
Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately .
Power Source Instructions
The lathe is intended for use on all grounded supply circuits having
a nominal rating of 115 volts AC in North America . The lathe has
a grounding plug . Do not use adaptors that allow you to bypass
required equipment electrical grounding .
The ACE lathe installed outside N . America is configured at the
factory to operate at 230 volts AC, but can be reconfigured in the
field by an authorized service representative, to operate at 115 volts
AC .
Optional 230v Power Source (North
America)
The lathe can also be connected to a power source that will apply
230 VAC (208 VAC - 240 VAC) 50/60 Hz between the supply
conductors of the power cord . This will require conversion to 230
V and the plug, 42-36-2, to be installed . Refer to Form 7299-
T, AutoComp Elite
Installation Instructions, for information on
®
converting to 230 V . This conversion must be performed by a
certified Hunter representative only .
The power cord utilizes a twist lock connector, Nema L6-20P . The
receptacle may need modification to allow the proper connection of
the power cord . Any modification to the receptacle should be done
by a certified electrician .
