• Never attempt to remount a faceplate turning to the

faceplate for any reason. Never attempt to remount a

between-centers turning if the original centers in the

turning have been altered or removed. Be positive the

lathe is set at the lowest speed if remounting a between-

centers turning with non-altered original centers.

• Use extra caution in mounting a between-centers or

spindle turning to the faceplate, or a faceplate turning

to between- centers, for subsequent operations. Be

positive the lathe is set at the lowest speed before

turning ON.

• Never mount a workpiece that contains any splits,

checks, or loose knots to a faceplate or between cen-

ters.

• Do not perform any operation when hand holding the

workpiece. Do not mount a reamer, milling cutter, wire

wheel, buffing wheel, or a drill bit to the headstock

spindle.

Whenever Lathe Is Running

WARNING: Don't allow familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your lathe) to cause a careless mis-

take. Always remember that a careless fraction of

a second is enough to cause a severe injury.

• Before actually turning with the lathe, let it run for a

while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot,

stop immediately. Turn the lathe off. Unplug the lathe.

Do not restart until finding and correcting the problem.

Keep Children Away.

• Keep all visitors a safe distance from the lathe.

• Make sure bystanders are clear of the lathe and work-

piece.

Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements

This Lathe is designed to use a 1725 RPM motor only. Do

not use any motor that runs faster than 1725 RPM. It is

wired for operation on 110-120 volts, 60 Hz., alternating

current.

CAUTION: Do not use blower or washing machine

motors or any motor with an automatic reset over-

load protector as their use may be hazardous.

Connecting to Power Source Outlet

This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the

operator from electric shock.

Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type

outlet protected by a 15-amp. dual element time delay or

Circuit-Saver fuse or circuit breaker.

If you are not sure that your outlet is properly grounded,

have it checked by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the termi-

nals of plugs when installing or removing the plug

to or from the outlet.

If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have

it replaced immediately.

If your unit is for use on less than 150 volts it has a plug

that looks like below.

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and

grounding type plug which has a grounding prong,

approved by Underwriters' Laboratories. The ground con-

ductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool

housing at one end and to the ground prong in the attach-

ment plug at the other end.

This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type

outlet as shown.

If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is

of the two prong type Do Not Remove Or Alter The

Grounding Prong In Any Manner. Use an adapter as

shown and always connect the grounding lug to known

ground.

It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician re-

place the two prong outlet with a properly grounded three

prong outlet.
