Removal Of Spur Center From Spindle; Removal Of Bearing Center From Ram; Power Source; Grounding Instructions - Craftsman 351.217150 Operator's Manual

INSTALLATION OF CENTERS
The spur center and the bearing center have Morse taper #2
to match the spindle and tail stock bores. To install the cen-
ters, slide them into the bores with a firm, swift movement.
They will be further secured when a workpiece is squeezed
between the centers.
REMOVAL OF SPUR CENTER FROM SPINDLE
• To remove the spur center from the spindle, insert the cen-
ter removal rod into the spindle and gently tap the center
out. Refer to Figure 7.

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 lock-
ing rocker switch. Remove the key in the rocker switch to pre-
vent 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 300V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (see Figure
9) for your protection against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly N
installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle,
as shown (Figure 9).

3-Prong Plug
Figure 9 - 3-Prong Receptacle
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides 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.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with National Electric Code and
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 10, page 6) is available for connecting plugs to a two
pole outlet if it is properly grounded.
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted
in Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or termi-
nal on the side of the adapter must be securely connected
to a permanent electrical ground such as a properly
grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a
properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are
not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding
means must be tested by a qualified electrician.
