103 Multi-Speed Brake Lathe
E L E C T R I C A L R E Q U I R E M E N T S
1. The 103 is available in three electrical configurations: 115V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph; 230V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph; and electri-
cals of 230V, 50 Hz, 1 Ph.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the lathe to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure the power
switch is in the "Off" position and the voltage source available is the same as that specified on the Serial
plate of the lathe. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the machine can result in
SERIOUS INJURY to the user -- as well as damage to the lathe.
2. The machine is equipped with a standard 3 conductor cord with a 3 prong grounding type plug that fits
into the standard grounding type receptacle. Never do anything to defeat the grounding terminal on this
machine. Replace only with the same style plug. If an extension cord is required, use a heavy duty type
with a 3 prong grounding type plug. An under-sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
loss of power and over-heating.
NOTE: The 115V machines include a standard 3 prong grounded plug.
The 230V machines will not have a plug. Only the power cord will be
provided -- contact an electrical professional for the proper plug.
3. One of the following fused service lines is required for this machine —
check the serial no. plate located at rear of your machine:
115V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph: 20 amp, 12 gage wire
230V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph: 15 amp, 14 gage wire
230V, 50 Hz, 1 Ph: 15 amp, 14 gage wire
4. The 103 has two separate fuses located under the electrical control box.
Access these fuses from the rear of the machine (Figure 1). The 1/2 Amp fuse protects the 2 - DC drive
feed motors. The 1 Amp fuse protects the electrical control box circuitry.
5. The 1 HP motor is protected by a thermal overload limit switch that must be manually reset if an overload
occurs.
