The red emergency stop button for your lathe is also the power button. By removing the locking cover, you can no longer shut off the power to the lathe. So even when you're not using it, the control board is still drawing power. This will waste electricity and may shorten the life of the board.Fredhttp://thingswhatimade.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
