Wire Sizes
NOTE: Make sure the proper extension
cord is used and is in good condition.
The use of any extension cord will cause
some loss of power. To keep this to a min-
imum and to prevent overheating 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 recepta-
cles which accept the tool’s plug.
Check Motor Rotation
Place the motor on your workbench or on
the floor. Standing clear of the motor
shaft, plug the motor cord into a properly
grounded outlet. Notice the rotation of the
shaft. As you look directly at the motor
shaft it should be turning in the clockwise
direction.
If the motor shaft is
turning clockwise, remove the plug from
the power outlet and continue the assem-
bly procedures. If the motor is turning
counterclockwise, remove the plug from
the power outlet and contact 1-866-539-
1710.

WARNING: To reduce the risk
of injury from unexpected starting
or electrical shock, do not plug the
power cord into a source of power.
This cord must remain unplugged
whenever you are working on the
wood lathe.
1. Unpack all the parts of your wood lathe
and lay them out in your work area so
they can be recognized easily. Check
all parts with the parts table and be
careful not to lose any parts during
assembly.
NOTE: Make certain all items are
accounted for, before discarding any
packing material.
