230-Volt Operation (Model JWL-1642EVS-2 only)

1.A plug with a UL/CSA listing suitable for 230V operation (Figure D) must be connected to the power cord. Contact your local authorized WMH Tool Group service center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The lathe must comply with all local and national codes after the 230V plug is installed.

2.The lathe with a 230V plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration (Figure D). There is no adapter available nor should one be used with the 230V plug.

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.

Note: The JWL-1642EVS-2 lathe requires a 230-volt single-phase input. It is equipped with a power inverter, located between the power cord and the drive motor. The inverter takes the 230V 1-phase input from the power cord and converts it to the 230V 3-phase output required by the drive motor.
