• Examine the line cord to make sure that the plug is in good
condition and that the insulation has not been damaged
during transit.
Refer to Figures 9-11.
MOUNTING LATHE TO BENCH
• Position the lathe assembly on top of a suitable stand or
bench.
• Verify that the bed is resting flat on the bench top. Mark
the mounting hole locations using the holes in the bed as
a guide. Move the lathe and drill four 3/8"holes through the
bench top. Place the lathe back in position and feed four
8/18 x 2" carriage bolts through the holes in the bed. Secure
from underneath with flat washers, lock washers, and hex
nuts (not supplied).

STABILITY OF WOOD LATHE
If there is any tendency for the lathe to tip over or move
during certain cutting operations, such as cutting extremely
heavy pieces or long, out-of-round objects, the lathe should
be bolted down.
LOCATION OF WOOD LATHE
The lathe should be positioned so that neither the operator
nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the
spinning chuck.
POWER SOURCE
WARNING: Do not connect wood lathe to the power source
until all assembly steps have been completed.
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below specified voltage. Running the
unit on voltages which are not within range may cause overheat-
ing and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that voltage at motor
terminals be no less than the voltage specified on nameplate.
• Power supply to the motor is controlled by a single pole
locking rocker switch. Remove the key in the rocker switch
to prevent unauthorized use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions
are not understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is
properly grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord
rated at 150V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (see
Figure 10) for your protection against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle,
as shown (Figure 10).

• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals
of plug when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in
outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have
them repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green
(or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
