You wont damage the VFD, it'll just trip out. Just set it for a low speed before hitting run...

I just picked up a IMO Cub CDS 0.75kW inverter ( for £35! I'm sure the guy had put it on wrong, £30 initial price £35 Buy It Now... so I did! Found the manual on the net too...

So now I can run the lathe and mill independently...
