III. Specific Safety Rules for the Mini Wood Lathe
(continued)
16. DO NOT LEAVE THE LATHE UNATTENDED WHEN IT IS RUNNING. Do not leave the
work area until the motor has come to a complete stop.
17. HANG turning tools on the wall beyond the tailstock end of the lathe. Do not lay them on
the bench so that the operator must reach over the revolving workpiece to select them.
18. KEEP A FIRM HOLD, and remain in control of the cutting tool at all times. Take special
precautions when shaping a section of stock in which knots or voids are found.
19. COMPLETE the hand-sanding of all workpieces before removing them from the lathe.
Keep this Owner's Manual in a safe place for future reference.
IV. Electrical Information
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for electric current in order to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a corresponding outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG. If it does not fit into the outlet, have the proper type of outlet
installed by a licenced electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If it is necessary to repair or replace the power cord or plug,
do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a licenced electrician if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if there is any question as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY A THREE WIRE EXTENSION CORD that is
equipped with a 3-pronged plug, and plug it into an outlet that
can accept the tool's power cord as shown in Fig. A. Repair or
replace a damaged or worn power cord or extension cord
immediately.
CAUTION: ALWAYS VERIFY THAT THE OUTLET THAT IS USED IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT, HAVE IT INSPECTED BY A LICENCED
ELECTRICIAN.
