Unpacking and Clean-Up

1. Remove the shi pping container . Do not discard

any shipping material until the lathe is set up and running properly.

2. Remove tailstock, tool rest and headstock

before lifting; see “Adjusting the Clamping Mechanism” on Page 19 on ho w to rem ove t he tailstock, headstock or tool rest.

3. Rem ove hex c ap bol ts f rom ski d bottom and l if t

the lathe bed, with the help from another person, off the skid and onto the edge of a workbench, as shown in Figure 1.

4. Clean all rust protected surfaces with a

cleaner-degreaser. Clean under the headstoc k, tailstock and tool rest body.

Assembly

Stand Legs

At this point the headstock, tail stock and tool rest should be removed. With help from another person, lift the lat he bed and plac e onto a workbench.

1. Angle lathe bed so that stand leg mounting

holes are accessible, see Figure 1.

Contents of Acces s or y Pack age

Figure 1

2. Thr ead adjust able f eet ( A, Fig. 1) i nto stand l eg

(B, Fig. 1) . There is a flat spot on the shaft near the foot that will accommodate a wrench. Thread a hex nut (C, Fig. 1) onto shaft and leave loose for now.

3. Mount the leg to lathe bed with four 5/16” flat

washers and four 5/ 16”-18 x 1-1/2” hex socket cap screws (D, Fig. 1).

4. Repeat for the other leg.

5. Adj ust the f eet so that t he lathe rests evenly on

the floor, and tighten the nuts.

6. Reinstall headstock , tailstock and tool rest.

Tool Rest

Secure tool rest (A, Fig. 2) to tool rest body (B, Fig. 2) by tight ening handle (C, Fig. 2).

Note: For some turning applications, you m ay need to assemble the tool rest extension between the tool rest body and tool rest.

Stand Shelf

You can make an ex tra shelf that r ests between the legs if you wish, se e Figure 3. It will be useful for storing lat he accessories, or addi ng sand bags f or some extra weight. The two 2x4’s should be 553/4” long. The plywood should be ripped into two equal pieces 27-13/16”L x 17”W so that it can be assembled between the l egs. Use screws to at tach the plywood to the 2x 4 supports.

Grounding Instructions

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

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding prov i des a path of least resistanc e f or electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug m ust be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accord ance wit h all l ocal codes and ordinances. Do not modify the pl ug provided. If it will not fit the outlet , have the proper outlet i nstalled by a qualified elec trician. Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipmentgrounding conduct or. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-gr ounding conductor t o a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properl y grounded. Use onl y three wire ex tension cords that have three-pr ong grounding plugs and t hree-pole recept acles that accept the tool ’s pl ug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your sander is ready to run at 115-volt oper ation. This sander, when wired for 115 v olts, is intended f or use on a circuit that has an outlet and a pl ug that l ooks the one illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrat ed in Figure B, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

must be connect ed to a permanent ground such as a properly gr ounded outlet box, as shown in Figure B. The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you must use one make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resul ting in power loss and ov erheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length needed and the nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the small er the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Volts Total Length of Cord in Feet

120V 25 50 100 150

AWG

12-16A 14 12 Not Recommended

230 Volt Operation

If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the following inst r uc tions must be followed:

1. Disconnect the mac hine from the power source.

2. This lathe is supplied with four motor leads that are connected for 115V operation, as shown in Figure A. Reconnect these four motor leads f or 230V operation, as shown in Figure B.

2. The 115V att achment plug (A ), supplied with the lathe, must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation (D). Contact your l ocal A uthoriz ed Service Center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The lathe must comply with all local and nati onal codes after the 230-volt plug is installed.

3. The lathe wit h a 230 volt plug should only be connected configuration (D). No adapter is available or should be used with the 230-v olt plug.

Important: In all cases (115 or 230 v olt s), m ak e certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a regi stered electrici an c hec k the rec eptacle.

The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outl et can be instal led by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigi d ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter,
