SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES F R W D LATHES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing
how your wood lathe works. Read and understand the following
safety rules before operating.
1. For your own safety, read the entire instruction manual before
operating the wood lathe.
2. Tighten all lock knobs or handles before operating.
3. Do not mount a split workpiece.
4. Use the lowest speed when starting a new workpiece.
5. Read the warning label attached to the wood lathe.
6. When turning a workpiece, always rough the wood to a round form,
start wood lathe at slow speed. If the lathe is run so fast that it
vibrates, there is a risk that the workpiece will be thrown or the tool
jerked from your hands.
7. Always rotate the workplace by hand before turning on the lathe. If
the workpiece strikes the tool rest, it could split and be thrown out of
the lathe.
8. Do not allow the turning tools to bite into the wood. The wood could
split or be thrown from the lathe.
9. Always position the tool rest above the centerline of the lathe when
shaping a piece of stock.
10. Do not operate the lathe if it is rotating in the wrong direction. The
workpiece must always be rotating toward you.
11. Before attaching a workpiece to the faceplate, always rough it out
to make it as round as possible, this minimizes the vibrations while
the piece is being turned. Always fasten the workpiece securely to
the faceplate, failure to do this could result in the workpiece being
thrown away from the lathe.
12. Position your hands so that they will not slip onto the workpiece.

This wood lathe must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric
shock. This wood lathe is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is

As received from the factory, your wood lathe is ready to run for 120V operation. This
wood lathe is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug which looks
like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
WARNING!: DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR FOR THEY ARE NOT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH OCA CODES AND ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN
CANADA.
EXTENSI N C RDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the chart in Fig.2
to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole
receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be
increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the wood lathe motor.
Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
N/ FF SWITCH & EMERGENCY ST P
This wood lathe is supplied with a On/Off switch. To turn the machine ON press the On button (A) Fig.3. To turn the machine OFF push the Off

netic backing which allows the user to conveniently position it anywhere on the wood lathe bed or stand legs. It is always recommended to keep
your hand close to the emergency stop button when starting an operation, just in case you need to turn the wood lathe off quickly. If you hear ab-
normal noises or feel excessive vibrations, turn the wood lathe Off, unplug the power cord from the power source and investigate the problem. Do
not use the wood lathe until the problem has been found and corrected. The lathe should run smoothly with little or no vibration.
