Electrical Connections
Grounding Instructions
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.
This machine must be grounded. 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. 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.
The Oliver lathe is supplied with an electrical
pigtail cord. A 230-volt three prong plug capable
of handling 12 amps must be purchased and
installed on the cord. The black and white wires
will attach to the line in terminals on the plug and
the green ground wire will attach to the ground
terminal on the plug.
Assembly
1. The bed extension (optional) can be used to
facilitate outboard turning or it can be used to
extend the main bed. Installation for either
application is as shown in Figure 5. The
mounting bolts are stored from the factory in
their correct mounting holes on the side of the
machine. Use an 8mm Allen wrench to
remove them and re-install with the extension
in place.
Figure 5
2. Install the outboard tool rest holder (optional)
onto its bed by sliding it into the end of the
bed as shown in Figure 6. Line up the
pressure disc B with the T-slot of the
bed. It may be necessary to push or pull
locking lever A to adjust the pressure disc
to the correct height. Once on, push
lever A to lock the holder into place. If the
holder will not lock into place it may be
necessary to adjust the lock nut (C).

3. Insert the tool rest into its holder as
shown in Figure 7 and when the desired
position is found, lock into place with
handle A.

4. Mount the comparator/guard support
bracket to the back of the machine as
shown in Figure 8. Use the supplied
6mm Allen head bolts to securely mount
the bracket to the machine.
