Before plugging the NOVA lathe into the power source, check that the:
1. The main power switch is turned off.
2. Power source is switched off.
Note: This image on the left-hand side is the European version of the NOVA wood lathe. Other versions will have a
hard-wired power cable (shown on the image on the right-hand side).
The power cord that is installed on the NOVA lathe will have a three-prong plug which includes a ground prong. The
plug must be connected to a matching outlet that his properly installed and grounded in accordance with local
electrical codes.
For 110V Outlet Only:
A temporary adapter can be used to plug into a two-pole outlet if a three-prong outlet is unavailable in your
environment. The ground tab on the adapter must be connected to the screw on the outlet for proper grounding. This
adaptor should only be used until a qualified electrician can install a properly grounded outlet.
➢ Note: If an extension cable is required, make sure to check the following:
1. Extension cable gauge is appropriate for the length and voltage.
2. Is the cable properly insulated?
If in any doubt, please contact your local electrician to inspect the cord according to the local electrical standards
before use.
IMPORTANT:
• A surge protection device is recommended when using the lathe.
• A surge protection device must be rated to at least 15A should be used in countries where 110V are
used as a standard. In countries where 240V is used, a surge protector must be rated to 10A.
