Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements (continued)

A temporary adapter as shown below is available for con-

necting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green ground-

ing lug extending from the adapter must be connected to

a permanent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet

box.

A temporary adapter, as illustrated, is available for con-

necting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The temporary

adapter should be used only until a properly grounded

outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you al-

ready have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.

NOTE: In Canada the use of a temporary adapter is not

permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Wire Sizes

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and

is in good condition.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of

power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-

heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to deter-

mine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use

only 3 wire extension cords which have 3-prong ground-

ing type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the

tool’s plug.

Check Motor Rotation

Place the motor on your workbench or on the floor.

Standing clear of the motor shaft, plug the motor cord

into a properly grounded outlet. Notice the rotation of the

shaft. As you look directly at the motor shaft it should be

turning in the clockwise direction. If the motor

shaft is turning clockwise, remove the plug from the

power outlet and continue the assembly procedures. If

the motor is turning counterclockwise, remove the plug

from the power outlet and contact 1-800-4-RIDGID.

Unpacking and Checking Contents

Tools Needed

Unpacking

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from unex-

pected starting or electrical shock, do not plug the

power cord into a source of power. This cord must

remain unplugged whenever you are working on

the wood lathe.

1. Unpack all the parts of your wood lathe and lay them

out in your work area so they can be recognized eas-

ily. Check all parts with the parts table and be careful

not to lose any parts during assembly.

NOTE: Make certain all items are accounted for, before

discarding any packing material.
