aged should be carefully checked to determine that it
would operate properly and perform its intended function.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount -
ing, and any other conditions that may affect its opera -
tion.
Never leave the brake lathe running while unattended.
Turn the power “OFF.” Do not leave the brake lathe until it
comes to a complete stop.
Use equipment only as described in this manual.

1.3 Specific Safety Precautions/
Power Source
Specifications for Extension Cords
The lathe comes equipped with a 25-foot power cable,
which should be adequate to reach an outlet in most
cases.
In the event that an extension cord is needed a good
quality/heavy duty cord must be used. Failure to use an
appropriate cord may induce poor lathe performance and
intermittent operation. (For example: Most drop lights
have 16 gauge or smaller wire. A drop light is not an
acceptable extension cord.)
See below for the maximum length and rating of cord
required.
12 gauge wire – 25 feet is maximum extension cord
length.
10 gauge wire – 50 feet is maximum extension cord
length.
Power Source Grounding Instructions
In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro -
vides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. The brake lathe is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con -
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conduc -
tor with insulation having an outer surface that is green,
with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-ground -
ing conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel, if
the grounding instructions are not completely under -
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
