Motor Specifications
This wood lathe is designed to use the type motor
supplied withthe unit only. Do not use any other lype
motor.
The motor must not be converted to operate on 230
volts.
TheA-C motorused in thiswood latheis a non-reversi-
ble type having the following specifications:
Rated H.P............................... 0,5
Maximum Developed H,P.................. 1,0
Voltage ................................. 120
Amperes ................................ 7.2
Hertz (Cycles) ............................. 60
Phase ................................ Single
RPM .................................. 3450
Rotation of Spindle ............ CounterClockwise
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire haz-
ards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection. Your lathe ls wired at the factory for
120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 1,_AMP,
branch circuit and use a 15-AMP,tlme delay fuse
or circuit breaker.
If not properly grounded this power tool can
cause electrical shock -- particularly when used
In damp locations In proximity to plumbing. If an
electrical shock occurs there is also the potential
of a secondary hazard such as your hands con-
tactlngthe rotating workplece or the cutting tool.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. To avoid
shock or fire replace the power cord if tt Is worn,
cut, or damaged In any way.
If you are notsure thatyour outlet isproperlygrounded,
have itchecked by a qualified electrician.
Your unitis wiredfor 120 volts,it has a ptug lha! looks
like the one shown below.
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and grounding type plug listed by Underwriters
Laboratories, The ground conduclor has a green jacket
and is atlached to the toolhousing at one end and to
lhe ground prong in the attachment plug at the other
end,

WARNING: To maintain proper tool grounding
whenever the outlet you are planningto use forthis
power tool is of the two prong type, do not remove
or alter the grounding prong in any manner. Usean
adapter as shown and always connect the ground.
ing prong to known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the two prong outlet with a properly grounded
three prong outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting
plug to 2-prong receptacles, The green grounding lead
extending from the adapter must be connected to
a permanent g_'ound such as to a properly grounded
outlet box.

NOTE; The adapter Illustrated is for use only if you
already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle,
WARNING: Do not run motor unless headstock ls
in an upright position, failure to follow this warn-
ing may burn out the motor relay and the motor.
WIRE SIZES
NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord Is used and
isin 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
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G,) extension
cord, Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3
prong grounding type plugs and 3 pole receptacles
which accept the tool's plug,
CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away from I
electrical service box, the wire size must be 1
Increased proportionately In order to deliver I
ample voltage to the lathe motor. I
