POWER SUPPLY
WARNING:
YOUR WOOD LATHE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 110V,
15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT.
Your wood lathe must be properly grounded. 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.
GROUNDING
This wood lathe must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This drill press 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.
WARNING:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR WOOD
LATHE, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN
ANY MANNER.
110V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your wood lathe is ready to run for 110V
operation and is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a
plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.3.
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
following table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire
Gauge) extension cord. 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. 4 for wire length and size.
