5.Make sure the power cord and wires have slack between the strain relief and terminal connections so that they do not bind, then tighten the strain relief to secure the cord.

Note: The strain relief must be tightened against the outer jacket of the cord. Avoid over- tightening the strain relief or it may crush the cord and cause a short.

6.Test the strain relief to ensure it is properly tightened by pulling the cord from outside the box with light-to-moderate force. When the strain relief is properly tightened, the cord will not move inside the cabinet.

7.Install a NEMA L6-30 plug on the other end of the power cord per the manufacturer's instructions.

8.Close and lock the main electrical box door.

9.Connect the plug to the matching receptacle and power source as specified in Circuit Requirements on Page 17.

To avoid unexpected start-up of lathe components, keep the master power switch turned OFF until instructed otherwise in the Test Run.
