Mounting the Lathe to a Support Surface
1. Place the lathe on the stand top. Locate the front and left corner of the lathe approximately 25mm
(1in.) from the corner edge of the stand top. This provides a comfortable reach when turning and
allows the optional outrigger unit to be easily installed.
2. If necessary, mark the six hole locations on the top and drill M12 holes.
3. Place a spirit level along the top of the lathe bed. Any movement of the bubble as the lathe is
secured, indicates a twist on the bed. For the lathe to operate correctly the bed must not twist; if
necessary, use shims between the bed and stand top.
4. Use bolts of suitable length (not included) to secure the lathe. Tighten the two headstock bolts first,
then the two tailstock bolts, and finally tighten the last two bolts on top.
5. The two M10 threaded holes underneath the outrigger end of headstock can be optionally used
(making a total of 8 bolt positions). Ensure that the bolt is a metric M10 x 1.5mm pitch and that the
length is correct to ensure that the bolt doesn't bottom in the threaded hole and potentially damage
casting.
Connecting to Power
The power cord should be 3-wire, having a grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local
electrical codes.
The DVR XP can run on either 115v or 220v ~ 240v, but the voltage must be selected with an internal
jumper (see Voltage Selection page 36). If the lathe is purchased in USA, it will already be setup for
115v operation. All other countries are preset for 220v ~ 240v.
Warning!
Improper connection of the motor can result in a risk of electrical shock.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, the cord should be grounded. Use the correct wire size for
the extension cord, for a given cord length, to avoid power loss and over-heating.
IMPORTANT: A Surge Protection Device rated to at least 15 amps - for USA and
Canada, other countries 10 or 15 amps - must be used to protect the DVR electronics from
electrical spikes or surges, similar to those used on most Home PC's.
Ground Fault Interrupters (GFI's) or Residual Current Detectors (RCD's) are helpful and are a
recommended protection device for any powertool. They can be used in conjunction with a DVR
lathe. Note some makes of GFI may not be compatible
