power sUpplY
warning!:
YOUR WOOD LATHE COMES WITH A 220V, 3 PHASE MOTOR, A
POWER CONVERTER IS PROVIDED TO CONVERT THE INPUT POWER TO 120V.
YOUR WOOD LATHE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH
CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM
SHOCK OR FIRE.
groUnding
This wood lathe must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric
shock. This wood lathe is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is
properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
warning!:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS WOOD LATHE CAN CAUSE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO
AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY
WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
warning!:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR WOOD LATHE, DO
NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
120v operation
As received from the factory, your wood lathe is ready to run for 120V operation. This
wood lathe is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug which looks
like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
warning!:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR FOR THEY ARE NOT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN
CANADA.
extension cords
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the chart in Fig.2
to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole
receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be
increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the wood lathe motor.
Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
on/oFF switch & eMergencY stop
This wood lathe is supplied with a On/Off switch. To turn the machine ON press the On button (A) Fig.3. To turn the machine OFF push the Off
button (B).
In case of an emergency, the emergency stop button (C) Fig.3 can be pressed to turn the wood lathe Off. The emergency stop comes with a mag-
netic backing which allows the user to conveniently position it anywhere on the wood lathe bed or stand legs. It is always recommended to keep
your hand close to the emergency stop button when starting an operation, just in case you need to turn the wood lathe off quickly. If you hear ab-
normal noises or feel excessive vibrations, turn the wood lathe Off, unplug the power cord from the power source and investigate the problem. Do
not use the wood lathe until the problem has been found and corrected. The lathe should run smoothly with little or no vibration.
