Additional Safety Instructions For The Lathe
1.MAKE SURE ALL GUARDS are in place and that the Lathe sits on a flat, stable surface.
2.ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION or a face shield when operating the Lathe. Use a respirator to avoid inhaling dust. All safety equipment should be ANSI approved.
3.BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE be certain the workpiece has been properly imbedded on the headstock and tailstock centers and that there is adequate clearance for the full rotation.
4.ADJUST TOOL REST to provide proper support for the turning tool you will be using. Test tool rest clearance by rotating workpiece by hand before turning lathe on.
5.REMOVE INDEXING PIN before turning lathe on.
6.SELECT THE TURNING SPEED which is appropriate for the type of work. Allow the lathe to gain its full speed before beginning turning.
7.ALWAYS OBSERVE THE CONDITION of the materials you are turning. Pay particular attention to knots, splits and other potentially dangerous conditions.
8.NEVER OPERATE THE LATHE WITH DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS. Maintain your lathe in proper working condition. Perform routine inspections and maintenance promptly when called for. Put away adjustment tools after use.
9.MAKE SURE YOUR WOOD LATHE IS TURNED OFF, disconnected from its power source and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedure.
10.DO NOT LEAVE LATHE RUNNING UNATTENDED for any reason.
11.DO NOT STOP LATHE USING YOUR HAND against the workpiece.
12.KEEP LOOSE CLOTHING ARTICLES such as sleeves, belts or jewelry items away from the lathe spindle.
13.WHEN FACE PLATE TURNING, use lathe chisels on the downward spinning side of the workpiece only.
14.REMOVE THE TOOL REST when performing sanding or polishing operations on the rotating spindle.
15.KEEP LATHE TOOLS PROPERLY SHARPENED and hold firmly in the proper position when turning.
Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the Model G1495 Heavy-Duty Lathe. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored serious personal injury may occur.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110/220V Operation
Your G1495 machine comes pre-wired for 110V operation. It includes a three-prong plug which should be plugged into a grounded circuit as shown in Figure 1. Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 12 amps @ 110V. We recommend the lathe be plugged into a circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.
This motor can be operated at 220V, however there is no power advantage from operating at a higher voltage. To revise the lathe to operate on 220V it is necessary to do two things:
1.The motor must be rewired according to the wiring diagram provided at the back of this manual.
2.The plug at the end of the power cord needs to be cut off and replaced with a type similar to those pictured in Figure 2.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximately 6 amps @ 220V. We recommend the lathe be plugged into a circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.

Grounding
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor which must be properly connected to a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-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.
This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any threepronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

Extension Cords |
|
Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. If the lathe is being operated at 110V an extension cord is acceptable, however make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.
We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your Lathe. These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
