ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING!: YOUR WOOD LATHE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP,
BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN
INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
GROUNDING
This wood lathe must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric
shock. This wood lathe is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is
properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING!: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS WOOD LATHE CAN CAUSE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO
AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY
WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING!: TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR WOOD LATHE, DO
NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your wood lathe is ready to run for 120V operation. This
wood lathe is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug which looks
like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
WARNING!: DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR FOR THEY ARE NOT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN
CANADA.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the chart Fig.2 to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord
needed. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs
and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool's plug. For circuits that are further away
from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order
to deliver ample voltage to the motor. Refer to Fig. 2 for extension cord length and
size (gauge).
