OWNER’S MANUAL

•  Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a 

damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect 

your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.   

•  Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a 2- or 

3-wire extension cord.

•  As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension 

cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, 

resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

•  The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, 

a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. Minimum extension cord 

wire size is shown in the following table:

•  When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord 

contains at least the minimum wire size required.

•  If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and 

use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.

•  If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix W-A (W in 

Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

•  Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always 

replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using 

it.

•  Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

OWNER’S MANUAL

MOUNTING THE MACHINE

Consider the weight of the lathe (88 lbs.) and, with assistance, place it onto a good solid 

surface or workbench. Ensure the location is adequately lit and that you will not be working in 

your own shadow.

Remove all traces of the factory preservative coating with 

paraffin or a good quality solvent then spread a thin layer of 

oil on all machined surfaces.

Mount the machine to a workbench, of sufficient height so 

that you do not need to bend your back to perform normal 

operations. We strongly recommend bolting the machine to 

a workbench using the tapped holes used to secure the feet 

to the machine. This provides added stability and safety. To

 do this, first drill four M6 clearance holes in a worktop, at 

the dimensions shown in the diagram opposite, and with 

appropriate length M6 bolts, or screws, with flat washers (not included).

The saddle, cross-slide, and compound slide adjustments are all factory set to ensure smooth 

movement in both directions. lf however the adjustments have drifted in transit, as indicated by 

stiff or erratic movement, refer to the Settings and Adjustments subsection in the Operating 

Instructions section for adjustment procedures.

All hex keys and wrenches for necessary adjustments are supplied, together with a chuck key 

for the 3-jaw chuck and a spare fuse. The fuse holder is located on the main control panel.
