WARNING
Do not allow 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
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.
• 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.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in
voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to
carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.
Extension Cord Length
Wire Size................. A.W.G.
Up to 25 ft............... 18 gauge
NOTE: Using extension cords over 25 ft. long is not rec-
ommended.
MOTOR
The wood lathe is assembled with motor and wiring in-
stalled as an integral part of the tool. The electrical wiring
schematic is shown in Figure 3 below.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Make sure unit is off and disconnected from power source
before inspecting any wiring.
The motor is installed and wiring connected as illustrated
in the wiring schematic (see Figure 3).
The motor is assembled with an approved three conduc-
tor cord to be used on 120 volts as indicated. The power
supply to the motor is controlled by a single pole rocker
switch.
The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch. The
green ground line must remain securely fastened to the
frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
