14. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.

15. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

16. Read and understand warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply

with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

17. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and

other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically

treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

18. Do not operate this lathe while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

19. Keep tools sharp and clean for safe and best performance. Dull tools can grab in the workpiece and be jerked from the operator's hands, causing s e rious injury.

20. Check the condition of the stock to be turned. Make sure it is free of knots, warpage, checked ends, improperly made or cured glue joint s and ot her c ondit ions w hich ca n cau se it to be thrown out of the lathe.

21. Securely fasten spur and live centers to the material being used.

22. Check centers and tapers in the headstock and tailstock to be sure they are free of dirt or rust, and oil li ghtly before inse rting centers.

23. Test each set-up by revolving the workpiece by hand to ensure it clears the tool rest and bed. Check the setup at the lowest speed before increasing to operating speed.

24. Use the correct cutti ng tool f or the operation to be performed and keep all tools sharp.

25. Use low speeds for roughing and for long or large diameter work. If vibration occurs, stop the machine and correct the cause.

26. When sanding, remove the tool rest from the machine, apply light pressure and use a slow speed to avoid heat buildup.

27. When turning large diameter pieces, such as bowls, always operate the lathe at low speeds. See the speed recommendation chart in sect.

14.

28. Do not attempt to engage the spindle lock pin until the spindle has stopped. If leaving the machine area, turn lathe off and wait until the spindle stops before departing.

29. Make no adjustments except speed changes with the spindle rotating, and always disconnect the machine from the power source when performing maintenance to avoid accidental starting or electrical shock.

30. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

4. Install legs with eight 5/16” screws, lock washers and flat washers (Figure 4), and 6mm hex key.

5. Tighten screws firmly.

Figure 4

6. Install the four levelers (Figure 5). These can be adjusted later.

1. Slide tailstock away from edge of bed.

2. Have an assistant hold bed extension flush to end of lathe bed, and insert four 3/8” socket head cap screws with lock washers and flat washers, provided with the bed extension (P, Figure 6). Snug screws just enough to hold bed extension to lathe bed.

3. Unscrew stud from lathe bed (N1), and insert it into hole at end of bed extension (N2).

4. Adjust bed extension to lathe bed, aligning the surface and the inside ways as closely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Top surface of bed extension must be flush with surface of lathe bed, and

inside ways must be aligned, to allow smooth movement of tailstock across joint.

5. Slide tailstock over joint where beds meet, so that clamping nut is centered over joint (Figure

14). Lock tailstock clamping handle; this will align the beds.

6. Securely tighten screws (P) in bed extension.

7. Unlock tailstock and slide it back and forth to test smoothness of the joint. Make further adjustments if needed.

Figure 5

7. With help from an assistant, raise bed and leg assembly right-side up.

Bed and leg assembly is

heavy. Use care when lifting.

8. Rotate the levelers (Figure 5) as needed to establish level for the lathe. Tighten the hex nut on each leveler against the leg casting.

9. Install headstock, tool support and tailstock, and both studs (N, Figure 3).

6.5 Mounting bed extension (optional

accessory)

8mm hex key required.

The 20” bed extension (p/n 719401) is optional and purchased separately. See your JET dealer for information. If you did not purchase the bed extension, proceed to section 6.6.

The bed extension can be mounted to the upper or lower holes of the lathe. Mounting in upper holes increases the spindle length capacity of the lathe. Mounting the extension to the lower holes allows use of the tool support during outboard turning.

7.0 Electrical connections

Electrical connections must

be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

The JWL-1440VS Lathe is rated at 115/230V power, and is pre-wired for 115 volt. The lathe comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks similar to the one pictured in A, Figure 8.

Before connecting to power source, be sure switch is in off position.

It is recommended that the lathe, when operated on 115 volt power, be connected to a ded icated 20 amp circuit with a 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse marked “D”. When operated on 230 volt power, it is recommended that the lathe be connected to a dedicated 15 am p circuit with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse marked “D”. Local codes take precedence over

recommendations.

7.1 Grounding instructions

1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce t he risk of electr ic shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and 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.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure

8. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only unt il a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure

8. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a diff erent type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The cond uctor with insulatio n having an o uter surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding conductor to 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 properly grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious or fatal injury.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.

Figure 8

7.2 Voltage conversion

To switch the incoming power leads for 230 volt operation:

1. Remove the junction box cover on the motor and reconnect the leads according to the diagram inside the cover. A similar diagram is found at the back of this manual. (Note: In the event of discrepancies, the diagram inside junction box takes precedence.)

2. Remove the 120V plu g on the end of the motor cord and replace it with a UL/CSA listed plug rated for 240V.
