Guidelines for using extension cords
WARNING!THIS WOOD LATHE IS FOR INDOOR
USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN
DAMP LOCATIONS.
Make sure your extension cord is in good con-
dition. 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 power and overheating. The table be-
low shows the correct size to use according to
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
Extension lead sizes shown assure a voltage
drop of not more than 5% at rated load of
tool.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
WOOD LATHE
WARNING: Do not operate the wood lathe
until it is completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions.
1. For your own safety, read the entire instruc-
tion manual before operating the lathe.
2. Always wear eye protection.
3. Do not wear gloves, necktie, or loose cloth-
ing.
4. Tighten all locks before operating.
5. Do not mount a split workplace.
6. Use the lowest speed when starting a new
workpiece.
7. Read the warning label attached to the
wood lathe.
8. When turning a workpiece, always rough
the wood to round form please stop wood
lathe at slow speed. If the lathe is run so fast
that it vibrates, there is a risk that the work-
place will be thrown or the tool jerked from
your hands.
9. Always rotate the workplace by hand before
turning on the lathe. If the workpiece strikes
the tool rest, it could split and be thrown out
of the lathe.
10. Do not allow the turning tools to bite into
the wood. The wood could split or be thrown
from the lathe.
11. Always position the tool rest above the cen-
ter line of the lathe when shaping a piece of
stock.
12. Do not operate the lathe if it is rotating in
the wrong direction.
The workpiece must always be rotating toward
you.
13. Before attaching a workpiece to the face-
plate, 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.
14. Position your hands so that they will not
slip onto the workpiece.
15. Remove all loose knobs in the stock before
mounting between the centers or on the face-
plate.
