motor specifications and electrical requirementsPOWER SUPPLYMotor SpecificationsThis wood lathe is designed to use the type motorsupplied with the unit only. Do not use any other lypemotor.The motor must not be converted to operate on 230volts.The A-C motorused in thiswood lathe is a non-reversi-ble type having the following specifications:Rated H.P............................... 0,5Maximum Developed H,P .................. 1,0Voltage ................................. 120Amperes ................................ 7.2Hertz (Cycles) ............................. 60Phase ................................ SingleRPM .................................. 3450Rotation of Spindle ............ CounterClockwiseWARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire haz-ards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuitprotection. Your lathe ls wired at the factory for120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 1,_AMP,branch circuit and use a 15-AMP, tlme delay fuseor circuit breaker.If not properly grounded this power tool cancause electrical shock -- particularly when usedIn damp locations In proximity to plumbing. If anelectrical shock occurs there is also the potentialof a secondary hazard such as your hands con-tactlng the rotating workplece or the cutting tool.Not all outlets are properly grounded. To avoidshock or fire replace the power cord if tt Is worn,cut, or damaged In any way.If you are notsure thatyour outlet isproperlygrounded,have it checked by a qualified electrician.Your unit is wired for 120 volts,it has a ptug lha! lookslike the one shown below.This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cordand grounding type plug listed by UnderwritersLaboratories, The ground conduclor has a green jacketand is atlached to the tool housing at one end and tolhe ground prong in the attachment plug at the otherend,3-PRONG PLUGPROPERLYGROUNDEDOUTLET-.....GROUNDING PRONGThisplug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded typeoutlet as shown above.6WARNING: To maintain proper tool groundingwhenever the outlet you are planning to use for thispower tool is of the two prong type, do not removeor alter the grounding prong in any manner. Use anadapter as shown and always connect the ground.ing prong to known ground.It is recommended that you have a qualified electricianreplace the two prong outlet with a properly groundedthree prong outlet.An adapter as shown below is available for connectingplug to 2-prong receptacles, The green grounding leadextending from the adapter must be connected toa permanent g_'ound such as to a properly groundedoutlet box.GROUNDING LUG_ t I_f/tl MAKE SURE THIS IS3-PRONG CONNECTEOTOAPLUO KNOWNGROUNDNOTE; The adapter Illustrated is for use only if youalready have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle,WARNING: Do not run motor unless headstock lsin an upright position, failure to follow this warn-ing may burn out the motor relay and the motor.WIRE SIZESNOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord Is used andis in good condition,The use of any extension cord will cause some loss ofpower, To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-heating and motor burn-out, use the table below todetermine the minimum wire size (A.W.G,) extensioncord, Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and 3 pole receptacleswhich accept the tool's plug,CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away from Ielectrical service box, the wire size must be 1Increased proportionately In order to deliver Iample voltage to the lathe motor.
