EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in
voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to
carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Make sure unit is off and disconnected from
power source before inspecting any wiring.
The motor is installed and wiring connected as illustrated in
the wiring schematic (see Figure 11).
The lathe is prewired for use on a 120 volt, 60HZ power supply.
The power supply to the motor is controlled by a single pole
locking rocker switch.
The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch. The
green ground line must remain securely fastened to the frame
to properly protect against electrical shock.
• Remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
240 VOLT OPERATION
• To use the lathe with a 240V, single-phase power supply,
have a qualified electrician attach a 240 volt, 15A 3-prong
plug onto lathe line cord and install the proper connectors
and receptacles to power supply.
• See wiring diagram (Figure 12) for wiring instructions.
