INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
EXTENSION CORDS
•
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
•
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
•
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
•
If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
Make sure unit is off and disconnected from power
source before inspecting any wiring.
The motor is installed and wiring connected as illustrated in the
wiring schematic (see Figure 11).
The lathe is prewired for use on a 120 volt, 60HZ power supply. The
power supply to the motor is controlled by a single pole locking
rocker switch.
The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch. The green
ground line must remain securely fastened to the frame to proper-
ly protect against electrical shock.
•
Remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
240 VOLT OPERATION
•
To use the lathe with a 240V, single-phase power supply, have a
qualified electrician attach a 240 volt, 15A 3-prong plug onto
lathe line cord and install the proper connectors and recepta-
cles to power supply.
•
See wiring diagram (Figure 12) for wiring instructions.

WARNING:
Operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with Unites States
ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool
operation. Safety goggles are available at Palmgren retail stores or
catalog.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following safety precautions:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on the tool, turn
switch OFF and remove the plug from power source.
•
Recheck all locking handles. They must be tightened securely.
•
Make sure all moving parts are free and clear of any
interference.
•
Make sure all fasteners are tight and have not vibrated loose.
•
With power disconnected, test operation by hand for clearance
and adjust if necessary.
•
Always wear eye protection or face shield.
•
After turning switch on, always allow the spindle to come up to
full speed before turning.
•
Be sure motor runs counterclockwise when viewing spindle
from the right end (inboard side of headstock).
•
Keep hands clear of spindle, centers, faceplates and other mov-
ing parts of machine.
•
For optimum performance, do not stall motor or reduce speed.
Do not force the tool into the work.
ON-OFF SWITCH
Refer to Figure 13.
Power supply to the lathe is controlled by the locking rocker
switch. To turn lathe on:
•
Switch on the rocker switch.
To turn lathe off:
•
Switch off the rocker switch.
The rocker switch has a removable key to prevent unauthorized
use or accidental start-up of the lathe. Removing the key will lock
the lathe from use.
To lock the lathe:
•
Switch off the rocker switch.
•
Disconnect the line cord from power source.
