Grounding Instructions

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment- grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your sander is ready to run at 115-volt operation. This sander, when wired for 115 volts, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks the one illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in Figure B, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter,

must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in Figure B.

The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you must use one make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length needed and the nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

230 Volt Operation

If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the following instructions must be followed:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.This lathe is supplied with four motor leads that are connected for 115V operation, as shown in Figure A. Reconnect these four motor leads for 230V operation, as shown in Figure B.

2.The 115V attachment plug (A), supplied with the lathe, must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation (D). Contact your local Authorized Service Center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The lathe must comply with all local and national codes after the 230-volt plug is installed.

3.The lathe with a 230 volt plug should only be connected configuration (D). No adapter is available or should be used with the 230-volt

plug.

Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.
