Electrical connections
Electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fatal injury.
The JWL-1440VS Lathe is rated at 115/230V power,
and is pre-wired for 115 volt. The lathe comes with
a plug designed for use on a circuit with a
grounded
outlet
that looks similar to the one pictured in
A
,
Figure 8.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in
off
position.
It is recommended that the lathe, when operated on
115 volt power
, be connected to a dedicated 20
amp circuit with a 20 amp circuit breaker or time-
delay fuse marked “D”. When operated on
230 volt
power
, it is recommended that the lathe be
connected to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with a 15
amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse marked “D”.
Local codes take precedence over
recommendations.

Grounding instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool 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
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor 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-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service pe
r
sonnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.
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 cord
immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less than
150
volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
A,
Figure
8. An adapter, shown in
B
and
C
, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
B
if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
This adapter is not permitted in
Canada.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the
like, extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between
150 - 250 volts
, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
D,
Figure
8. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in
D
. Make sure the tool is connected
to an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. No adapter is available or should be used with
this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on
a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection
should be made by qualified service personnel; and
after reconnection, the tool should comply with all
local codes and ordinances.
