Connecting the Mercury to Power Source
The electric motor, switch, cord and controllers are supplied with the Mercury lathe. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with local electrical codes.
The power cord should be 3-wire, having a grounding conductor and a grounding pin.
!
Warning!
Improper connection of the motor can result in a risk of electrical
shock.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, the cord should be grounded. Use the correct wire
size for the extension cord, for a given cord length, to avoid power loss and over-heating.

IMPORTANT
: For best protection of the Lathe use a surge protected plug
outlet rated to at least 15 amps.
Ground Fault Interrupters (GFI's) or Residual Current Detectors (RCD's) are helpful
and are a recommended protection device for any powertool. They can be used in
conjunction with a DVR lathe without any problems.
