Ground Fault Interrupters (GFI)

For a GFI to be compatible with the DVR motor, it must have a leak current threshold rating of 30mA
(0.03A)
➢ Note: Normal household GFI will typically be rated at 5mA (0.005A) which
may trigger during the operation of the DVR motor. However, frequent
tripping of the GFI will not cause any harm to the DVR motor or its control
electronics as it has a built-in protective circuit to prevent damage from
frequent switching.

Input Voltage Selection

The NOVA Orion lathe is capable of handling both 115V and 240V without any changes to its internal circuits.
The lathe will automatically recognize the input voltage to the lathe and adjust the output power. Simply
change the input power plug to a suitable plug for the desired input voltage to change the lathe's input voltage.
i.e. For US:
For regions where 240V is standard:

Setting Up Your Lathe

Workshop Environment

Your workshop should set up appropriately for you to effectively use the lathe. The workshop should be setup
with the following factors taken into consideration:
1. Lathe location
Locate the NOVA Orion lathe close to a power source in an area with good amount of lighting. Leave enough
clearance when the lathe headstock is swivelled around. Other machines in the workshop should not interfere
with the movement/operation of the lathe.
2. Lighting
The work shop should have adequate lighting. There should be enough lighting around the lathe not to cast
shadows upon the workpiece. If possible, locate the lathe near a window. A portable spotlight might be
helpful.
