Headstock Utility Holes; Electrical Connections; Grounding Instructions - Powermatic PM2014 Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

IMPORTANT: Top surface of bed extension
must be flush with surface of lathe bed, and
inside ways must be aligned, to allow smooth
movement of tailstock across joint.
5. Tighten screws securely.
6. Unlock tailstock and slide it back and forth to
test smoothness of joint. Make any additional
adjustments as needed.
7. Install stud at end of bed extension.

Lower position:
If lathe is mounted to the optional Powermatic stand,
the bed extension may be mounted in lower
position. See Figure 6-17. Three screws will be used
instead of four.
Lower position is used for bowl turning when
headstock is at outboard end of lathe bed, as shown
in Figure 6-17. An optional toolrest post extension
(B, Figure 6-17) is included with the extension bed,
and can be used to elevate toolrest when using
extension bed in lower position.

6.6 Headstock utility holes

Two M12-1.5P threaded holes are provided atop the
headstock, protected by rubber bungs. These holes
can be used to attach accessories (not provided),
such as lighting, guarding or dust collection. Use a
flat blade screwdriver to unscrew the bungs. Note:
The holes should remain covered if not being used,
to prevent debris from entering the headstock.

7.0 Electrical connections

Electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fatal injury.
The Lathe will operate on single phase, 120 volt
power supply. The Variable Frequency Drive, or
"inverter," converts the incoming power to the
necessary input for the 3-phase motor.
It is recommended that the lathe be connected to a
15 amp circuit with circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Local codes take precedence over recommen-
dations.

7.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool 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
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.
