POWER
SOURCE
WARNING:
Do not connect
wood lathe to the power
source
until all assembly
steps
have been completed.
The motor is designed
for operation
on the voltage and frequency
specified.
Normal
loads will be handled safely on voltages
not
more than 10% above or below specified
voltage.
Running
the
unit on voltages which are not within range may cause overheat-
ing and motor burn-out.
Heavy loads require that voltage at motor
terminals
be no less than the voltage
specified
on nameplate.
•
Power supply to the motor is controlled
by a single pole lock-
ing rocker switch.
Remove
the key in the rocker switch
to pre-
vent unauthorized
use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
improper
connection
of equipment
grounding
con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment
should
be grounded
while in use to protect operator from electrical
shock.
Check with
a qualified
electrician
if grounding
instructions
are not understood
or if in doubt
as to whether
the tool is
properly
grounded.
This tool is equipped
with an approved
3-conductor
cord
rated at 300V and a 3-prong
grounding
type plug (see Figure
9) for your protection
against
shock
hazards.
Grounding
plug should
be plugged
directly
into a properly
N
installed
and grounded
3-prong
grounding-type
receptacle,
as shown
(Figure
9).

in any manner.
In
the event of a malfunction
or breakdown,
grounding
pro-
vides
a path
of least resistance
for electrical
shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit
fingers
to touch
the terminals
of
plug when
installing
or removing
from outlet.
Plug must be plugged
into matching
outlet that is properly
installed and grounded
in accordance
with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify
plug provided.
If it will not fit in
outlet, have proper outlet installed
by a qualified
electrician.
inspect
tool cords
periodically
and if damaged,
have them
repaired
by an authorized
service
facility.
Green
(or green
and yellow)
conductor
in cord
is the
grounding
wire. If repair
or replacement
of the electric
cord
or plug is necessary,
do not connect
the green (or green
and yellow)
wire to a live terminal.
Where
a 2-prong
wall receptacle
is encountered,
it must be
replaced
with a properly
grounded
3-prong
receptacle
installed
in accordance
with
National
Electric
Code
and
local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should
be performed
by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary
3-prong
to 2-prong
grounding
adapter
(see
Figure
10, page
6) is available
for connecting
plugs to a two
pole outlet
if it is properly
grounded.
Do not use a 3-prong
to 2-prong
grounding
adapter
unless
permitted
by local and national
codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong
to 2-prong
grounding
adapter
is not permitted
in Canada.)
Where
permitted,
the rigid green
tab or termi-
nal on the side of the adapter
must be securely
connected
to a permanent
electrical
ground
such as a properly
grounded
water
pipe, a properly
grounded
outlet
box or a
properly
grounded
wire system.
Many cover
plate screws,
water
pipes and outlet
boxes are
not properly
grounded.
To ensure
proper
ground,
grounding
means
must be tested
by a qualified
electrician.
