Figure 6-1: grounding
IMPORTANT: The JWL-1640EVS Lathe cannot be
run on a GFCI circuit.
A lightning strike or power
surge may cause inverter failure. When lathe is
not in use, disconnect power plug, or have a 3-
or 4-pole disconnect installed on the power
side.
6.3 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment within reach of the power
source. If an extension cord becomes necessary,
be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Table 1 shows recommended size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Figure 7-1: headstock movement
7.1.2 Rotation
IMPORTANT: Remove anti-rotation block (Figure
7-2) with 4mm hex key before attempting to rotate
headstock.
Figure 7-2: anti-rotation block
To rotate headstock:
1. Loosen lock handle (A, Figure 7-1).
2. Unscrew knurled knob (B) counterclockwise
until it can be pulled outward.
3. Pull knob (B) outward and rotate headstock to
desired position. The headstock has seven
positive locking positions. NOTE: Be careful
not to pinch your fingers against the bed as
you rotate headstock.
4. Release knob (B) and it will seat itself with an
audible click when the headstock reaches a
positive lock position.
5. Lift handle (A) to lock headstock.
6. Rotate knob (B) clockwise until it engages the
threads.
Always engage locking handle
(A) before operating lathe.
7.2 Tailstock movement
To slide tailstock, push locking handle (C, Figure 7-
3) down toward bed. Push handle up to lock
tailstock in position.
To move quill, loosen handle (D) and rotate
