PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
CT172 is for use on a normal 110 volt
circuit. Make sure that the machine is
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. If an adaptor plug
is used, it must be attached to the metal
screw of the receptacle. To prevent
electrical hazards, have a qualified
electrician ensure that the line is properly
wired. The lathe should be wired with a plug
having 3 prongs to fit a 3 prong grounded
receptacle as shown in figure-1. Do not
remove the grounding prong to fit it into a 2
pronged outlet.

It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CT172. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
In case if you really find it necessary to use
an extension cord, make sure the extension
cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and
the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor
damage.
UNPACKING
The machine is properly packaged and
shipped complete in a carton for safe
transportation. When unpacking, carefully
inspect the carton to ensure that nothing
has been damaged during transit. Open the
carton and check that the grinder and the
parts are in good condition.
While doing inventory, if you can not find
any part, check if the part is already
installed on the machine. Some of the parts
come preassembled.
