Connecting to Power
WARNING
Improper power connection may result in a risk of electrical hazard
Before plugging the NOVA COMET 14DR lathe, shut off the power source
The power cord installed on the NOVA COMET 14DR lathe will have a grounding three-prong plug. The plug
must be connected to a matching outlet that his properly installed and grounded in accordance with local
electrical codes.
For 115V outlet only:
A temporary adapter can be used to plug into a two-pole outlet if a three-prong outlet is unavailable in your
environment. The ground tab on the adapter must be connected to the screw on the outlet for proper grounding.
This adaptor should only be used until a qualified electrician can install a properly grounded outlet.
➢
Note: If an extension cable is required, make sure to check the following:
1. Extension cable gauge
2. Is the cable properly insulated?
If in any doubt, please contact your local electrician to inspect the cord according to the local electrical standards
before using it.
Surge Protection (Ground Fault Interrupters (GFI) / Residual Current Detectors (RCD))
It is recommended to use a surge protection device rated to 15A for the best protection of the lathe. GFI and
RCD are the recommended standard type of surge protection device.
