VII. Operating Instructions (continued)

ON/OFF Switch (Fig. 8)
The ON/OFF switch (2) controls the supply of electrical power to the lathe’s motor. The
safety key (3) must be placed in the switch before the switch will operate.
1. Move the switch to the ON position to start the motor. The electric current is applied to
the motor immediately. There is an activation delay of up to 3 seconds before the motor
begins to turn the headstock spindle. The amount of time it takes for the motor to reach
the speed that is set by using the speed control knob depends on the size and weight of
the workpiece.
2. Move the switch to the OFF position to stop the motor. Electric current is immediately
disconnected, but the spindle and workpiece will continue to spin for several seconds.
Note: The safety key (3) can only be removed from the switch when it is in the
OFF position. Once the key is removed, the switch is locked in that position, and
the lathe cannot be started. Store the key in a safe place when the lathe is left
unattended.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE THE LATHE UNATTENDED UNTIL IT HAS COME TO
A COMPLETE STOP.
Reset button (Fig. 8)
The reset button (4) is used to restart the motor after the motor has shut off due to
overloading or low voltage. Follow these steps if the motor stops while the lathe is in use:
1. Turn the ON/OFF switch (1) to the OFF position, and wait approximately 5 minutes for
the motor to cool down.
2. Press the reset button (4), and then turn the switch (1) to the ON position.
WARNING: IF THE MOTOR SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY, UNPLUG THE LATHE FROM
THE OUTLET, VERIFY THAT THE ON/OFF SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION, AND
ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COOL DOWN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE
LATHE. OVERHEATING MAY BE CAUSED BY MISALIGNED PARTS OR BY A DULL
CHISEL. INSPECT THE LATHE FOR PROPER SETUP BEFORE USING IT AGAIN.
