8. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

shaping a piece of stock.
3. Do not operate the lathe if it is rotating in the wrong direction.
The workpiece must always be rotating toward you.
4. Before attaching a workpiece to the faceplate, always rough it out to
make it as round as possible, this minimizes the vibrations while the
piece is being turned. Always fasten the workpiece securely to the
faceplate, failure to do this could result in the workpiece being
thrown away from the lathe.
5. Position your hands so that they will not slip onto the workpiece.
