. Electrical information GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS WARNING: THIS WOOD LATHE IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one 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. The table below shows the correct size to use according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS(AWG) (when using 120 volts only) Ampere Rating Total length of cord In feet more than 0 6 not more than 6 10 25 50' 100' 150' 18 16 16 14 18 16 14 12 10 12. 12 16 16 16 14 12 14 12 Not Recommended Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the 'OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor. WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK. SAVE THESE SAFETY RULES
