Yo in a heap 'o trouble now, boy! The Chinese/HF lathes are very complex
electrically. Try a 12x36 schematic- prolly close to somewhat similar.

My neighbor bought a used HF 14” by 40” lathe with assortment of accessories,
but no manual. Then, to make easier to move, they remove the motor. When he
hooks it up again, the motor lets all the smoke out. The motor has been rebuild
but there is another problem. With the motor disconnected, one position of the
reversing switch causes all the external circuit breakers to blow.

This lathe has a lot more electrics then I would have expected. Without a
manual, it is gonna be tough. The model number on the data plate is TD-12368.
With a date of 1994. HF has discontinued this model and offers no help. Does
anyone have a manual to sell or loan? Or any ideas on a source?

Also, what is done to reverse the single phase AC motor?
