Installation and setting up
Warning
To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, do not
plug the power cord into a power source receptacle during
unpacking and assembly. This cord must remain unplugged

If any part is missing or damaged, do not plug the lathe in until the
missing or damaged part is replaced, and assembly is complete.
To avoid electrical shock, use only identical replacement parts
when servicing grounded tools.
