grounding type receptacle. The green conductor in the

cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green wire

to a live terminal.

3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

- n working order, and n proper adjustment and align-

ment.

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting 17. wrenches are removed from toot before turning it on.

5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN

Cluttered areas an_ benches invite accidents. Floor must

not be sl ippery due to wax or sawdust. 18.

6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT

Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Provide ade- quate surrounding work space.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY

Alt visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

8. MAKE WORKSHOP KID-PROOF

-- with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys,

9. USE PROPER SPEED

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and

alertness at all times when the Lathe is being used,

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO 7.

NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR LATHE

UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUC-

TIONS... AND UNTIL YOU HAVE READ 8.

AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING:

1. General Safety Instructions .................. 2

2. Getting to Know Your Lathe .............. 13

3. Basic Lathe Operation ................... t5

4. Maintenance ......................... 19

5. The Lathe and motor must be bolted down to a stand or workbench for stability.

6. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body

a. Wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1-

1968, and a face shield if operation is dusty. Wear

ear plugs or muffs during extended periods of

operation.

b. When turning between centers or on the faceplate,

always rough-out "out of round" workpieces at slow speed. Running l_e Lathe too fast, so that it

vibrates, could cause the workpiece to be thrown from the Lathe . .. or the turning tool to be jerked

from your hands.

c. Always revolve the workpiece by hand before turn-

ing on the motor. If the workpiece strikes the toot rest, it could split and be thrown out of the Lathe,

Do not allow the turning tool to '*bite" into the workpiece which could result in splitting of the workpiece or the workpiece being thrown from the

Lathe. Always position the tool rest above the

centedine of the Lathe for spindle turning. Do not apply the turning tool to the workpiece below the

level of the tool rest.

Do not run the Lathe in the wrong direction. This could cause the turning tool to be thrown from your hands. The Lathe must run in a direction so that the workpiece turns toward you.

Before attaching a workpiece to the faceptate aft ways "rough it out" to as "true round" as possible.

This will minimize vibration while turning, Always fasten the workpiece securely to the face-

plate.

Failure to perform these set-up operations could cause the workpiece to be thrown from the Lathe,

Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden

slip could cause a hand to move into the workpiece.

h. Remove all loose knots before installing workpiece

between centers or on the faceplate.

i. Never leave the Lathe work area with the power on

before the Lathe has come to a complete stop, or

without removing and storing the switch key.

16. Use the drill chuck accessory in the tai_ stock only.

j. Never operate the Lathe with protective cover on

the unused shaft end of the motor removed,

Hang your turning tools on the wall toward the tail- stock end of the Lathe. Do not lay them on the bench so that you must reach over the revolving workpiece to select them,

Keep firm hold and control of the turning tool at all times. Special caution must be exercised when knots or voids are exposed to the turning tool.

Note the following DANGER label which appears on

the front of the belt guard.

The operation of anv power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying

with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) before commencing power tool operation. Safety Goggles are available at Sears retail or catalog stores.

MOTOR PULLEYS FURNISHED ARE DE- SIGNED TO RUN THE LATHE AT THE COR- RECT SPEEDS WHEN USED WITH A 1725 R.P.M. MOTOR. DO NOT USE A 3450 R.P.M. MOTOR TO INCREASE THE SPEED BECAUSE

IT COULD BE DANGEROUS.

This Lathe is designed to use a 1725 RPM motor only. Do

not use any motor that runs faster than 1725 RPM. It is wired for operation on 110-120 volts, 60 Hz., alternating current. IT MUST NOT BE CONVERTED TO OPERATE

ON 230 VOLTS. EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THE RE- COMMENDED MOTORS ARE DUAL VOLTAGE.

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and

grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved by Underwriters" Laboratories. The ground conductor has

a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at one

end and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the

other end.

THESE MOTORS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE ACCEPTABLE FOR USE ON THIS TOOL.

CAUTION: Do not use blower or washing machine motors or any motor with an automatic reset overload protector

as their use may be hazardous.

CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET

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

Plug power cord into a 1 I0-120V properly grounded type outlet protected by a 15-amp. dual element time delay or

Circuit-Saver fuse or circuit breaker.

If you are not sure that your outlet is properly grounded,

have it checked by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH

THE TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE PLUG TO OR FROM THE OUTLET.

WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS

POWER TOOL CAN INCUR THE POTENTIAL HAZARD

OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. PARTICULARLY WHEN

USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS IN PROXIMITY TO

PLUMBING. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZ- ARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE CUTTING TOOL.

If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,

have it replaced immediately.

If your unit is for use on less than 150 volts it has a plug

that looks like below.

GROUNDING PRONG

This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type

outlet as shown.

If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER

THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER, Use an

adapter as shown and always connect the grounding lug

to known ground.

It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded THRE_E prong outlet.

An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug

extending from the adapter must be connected to a per-

manent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet box,

MAKE SURE THIS IS GROUNDING LUG

CONNECTED TO __

KNOWN GROUND ADAPTER

RECEPTACLE

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.

The use of any extension cord wilt cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-

heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to deter- mine 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 receptacles which accept the tools plug.

HOLES FOR MOTOR

Dril{ six 3/8" holes in your bench according to the diagram to the right. NOTE; Make sure the top of your

bench is positioned so that you don't drill into the legs or rail underneath.

When mounting to a Sears workbench, side overhang of

top at headstock end should be 5" from leg portion of

stand. (Front overhang of top shoutd remain 1-1/8"').

NOTE: To attach your Lathe to the bench, use the bolts,

nuts and washer you removed when unpacking.

2. Position Lathe on bench and insert two bolts through holes in headstock butdo not screw on the nuts.

3. Position the Lathe so that the bed is parallel to the front

of the bench. Check the foot, If the bottom of the foot is not flat on the surface of the bench, loosen the screw in the foot, tap the screw to loosen the tocknut inside.

Turn the foot so it is flat on the bench and tighten the screw.
