Connecting the electrical supply.
The machine is supplied with a plug
and socket for connection to the
electrical supply. No cable is supplied,
as this will depend on your
installation. Ensure that your electrical
supply matches that of your machine.
Connect the ground wire [green or
yellow green] as shown. Other wires
can be connected in either socket. To
remove the outer casing of the plug
insert a flat screwdriver as indicated
on the plug and twist.
Note single-phase socket shown.
Note. It is recommended that qualified
personnel carry out the electrical
installation. Ensure that the main
supply corresponds with that of the
machine. Use wiring suitable for the
power and the length of cable that is
needed for your installation. On the
machine you will see a wire that is
yellow and green, this is the ground
wire, the other coloured wires are
power phase it does not matter what
colour combination you use,
green/yellow is ground; all other
wiring is power (there is no neutral).
On single phase the wiring can be
interchanged as you wish, it will not
affect the rotation of the motor. The
direction of rotation of machines with a single-phase supply is predetermined during
production.
It is recommended that you use a 30-amp mains breaker and number 12 cable for
installation up to 15’. Installations 15’ to 30’ should use number 10-gauge cable.
Fitting the face plate
The face plate screws onto the thread of the headstock spindle. It is locked in position
with an allen set screw which when tightened fits into a “v” groove to ensure that the
face plate is securly held in place and will not come loose when the lathe is used in
the reverse mode.
