In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure,
have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a
3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding
type plug and matching receptacle which will accept
the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Fig. D-1 shows the correct gauge to use
depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

TURNING IN REVERSE (46-460 ONLY)
FOR THE DELTA MODEL 46-460 MIDI-
LATHE ONLY: To reduce the risk of injury, be sure
to only use accessories equipped with locking set
screws for turning the lathe in reverse. Also, do not
switch lathe turning directions until the workpiece
comes to a complete stop.
Care should be taken not to stall the
workpiece when turning in reverse. If a stall should
occur, stop the lathe and verify that the chuck or
faceplate is fully seated and both set screws are
tight before continuing.
