5. Cut the dowel rods to length with a miter saw or
hand saw, so that after insertion the rods will be
flush with the back of the rear 2x6.
6. Insert the dowel rods through the holes in the
rear 2x6, as shown in Figure 6-10.
7. A strip of wood can be screwed to the rear 2x6
to cover the dowel holes and prevent the
dowels from working out.

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.
This machine must be grounded. 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
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
equipment-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.
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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
This lathe is shipped without a cord. This lathe must
be permanently connected to the electrical system
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
any other applicable state and local codes.
Extension cords should not be used with this lathe.
Consult a licensed electrician if you are unsure how
to properly connect this lathe to the building’s
electrical system.
During wiring of the Lathe, make sure the fuses
have been removed or the breaker has been tripped
in the circuit to which the Lathe will be connected.
Place a warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit
breaker to prevent it being turned on while the
machine is being wired.
The Lathe will operate on single phase, 230 volt
power supply. Route the supply cable (not provided)
from power source into main switch box behind the
headstock (Figure 7-1). Insert the two wires into the
two remaining terminals of the rotary switch. See
diagram in sect. 16.2 if clarification is needed.
It is recommended that the lathe be connected to a
20 amp circuit with circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Local codes take precedence over recommen-
dations.

8.0 Adjustments
8.1 Headstock/tailstock movement
To slide headstock or tailstock, swing locking handle
(A, Figure 8-1) backward or forward until
head/tailstock can slide freely. When head/tailstock
is positioned, swing locking handle until it tightens
securely.
To remove headstock, tailstock or tool support base
from bed, unscrew and remove stop bolt at either
end (see Figure 6-6). NOTE: After re-mounting
these items on the Lathe, always insert stop bolt.
For most turning operations, except outboard
turning, the headstock should be positioned at left
end of bed, and only the tailstock moved to
accommodate the workpiece.
Loosen locking handle (B, Figure 8-1) to advance or
retract tailstock quill by rotating handwheel (C).
Retighten handle (B).
