Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements (continued)
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insula- tion having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equip- ment 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.
If the grounding instructions are not com- pletely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded check with a qualified electri- cian or service personnel.
Motor Safety Protection

2.If the motor won’t start, turn the switch off immediately and unplug the tool. Check the spindle to make sure it turns freely. If the spindle will not turn make sure the index pin is desengaged. (See “Getting to Know Your Wood Lathe” - Index Pin.) If the spindle is free, try to start the motor again. If the motor still does not start, refer to the "Motor Trou- bleshooting Chart."

WARNING: If not properly grounded, this tool can cause an electrical shock, particularly when used in damp locations, in proximity to plumbing, or out of doors. If an electrical shock occurs there is the potential of a secondary hazard, such as your hands to hit the cutting tool.
a. make too many start/stops in a short time.
b. Line voltages should not be more than 10% above or below the name- plate voltage. For heavy loads, how- ever, the voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage specified for your model.
4.Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, over- load, low voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire. Always check the connections, the load and the sup- ply circuit whenever motor doesn't work well. Check wire sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart shown.
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always wear eye protection which is marked to comply wtih ANSI Z87.1.
