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.

Extension Cord	Gauge
Length	(A.W.G)
0-25 Ft.	16
26-50 Ft.	14

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.

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.
