11Figure 88.2 Extension cordsThe use of extension cords is discouraged – try toposition equipment within reach of the powersource. If an extension cord becomes necessary,be sure to use one heavy enough to carry thecurrent your product will draw. An undersized cordwill cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss ofpower and overheating. Table 1 shows correct sizeto use depending on cord length and nameplateampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heaviergauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavierthe cord.AmpereRating Volts Total length ofcord in feetMoreThanNotMoreThan120240255050100100200150300AWG00 06 18 16 16 1406 10 18 16 14 1210 12 16 16 14 1212 16 14 12 NotRecommendedExtension Cord RecommendationsTable 19.0 AdjustmentsMake sure all levers andlocking handles are tightened before operatingthe lathe.9.1 Tool restRefer to Figure 9.The tool rest assembly is designed to allowadjustment for height, position on the bed, andangle to the work.Loosen locking handle (A) on tool rest base byturning it upward. This allows you to slide baseforward or back, and to angle it to the bed. Tightenlocking handle firmly before operating lathe.Loosen small handle (B) to raise or lower tool restand angle it to the work. Tighten handle beforeoperating lathe. (The handle is adjustable – pull outon handle and rotate it on pin, then release,making sure it seats itself on the pin.)Figure 99.2 TailstockRefer to Figures 10 and 11.Loosen locking lever (C) and slide tailstock intoposition. Retighten locking lever.Do not position edge oftailstock off end of bed. This will result in lessclamping surface and may increase risk ofinjury.To remove tailstock, loosen lever (C) and slidetailstock off end of bed.Handle (D) locks and unlocks tailstock quill. (Thehandle is adjustable – pull out on handle and rotateit on pin, then release, making sure it seats itself onthe pin.)Handwheel (E) advances and retracts quill.NOTE: If quill is well advanced and won’t respondto handwheel rotation, push quill towardhandwheel until it engages.
