WARNING: THIS LATHE IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE IT
TO RAIN OR USE IT IN A DAMP LOCATION.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
Verify that the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. Using an undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, which will result in a loss of power and overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use, according to the length of the extension cord
and the nameplate amperage rating. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Verify that the extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Keep
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electric circuit for operating power tools. This circuit should consist of not
less than a #12 wire, and should be protected by a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before plugging
the lathe into the electrical outlet, verify that the switch is in the OFF position and that the
electric current is rated the same as the current that is stamped on the motor nameplate.
Running the lathe at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK, THIS
TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE.
Keep this Owner's Manual in a safe place for future reference.
