ELECTRICAL
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
1. BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE to the power source, verify
that the voltage of your power supply corresponds with the voltage
specified on the motor I.D. nameplate. A power source with greater
voltage than needed can result in serious injury to the user as well
as damage to the machine. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician
before connecting to the power source.
2. MAKE SURE YOUR FINGERS
do not contact the terminals of the power cord plug when plugging in or
unplugging the tool.
3. GROUNDED TOOLS MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN OUTLET THAT
ITSELF IS PROPERLY INSTALLED AND GROUNDED.
Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity to ground
away from the operator, should the tool malfunction electrically.
4. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD.
Never carry your tool by the cord or pull on the cord to unplug it.
Protect the cord from potential sources of damage: heat, oil & solvents,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
5. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED
EXTENSION CORD.
An extension cord rated for outdoor use must be marked "W-A" or "W".
6. THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
Do not expose electrical power tools to moisture. Rain or wet conditions
can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock. The motor of this machine is wired for 120 V
single phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a
3-prong grounding plug to fit a grounded type receptacle B. Do not remove
the 3rd prong (grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket
or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used C, it must be attached to the
metal screw of the receptacle.
NOTE: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some areas, including
Canada. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts or if the
supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a
qualified electrician before proceeding.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use
only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a
matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool's plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor
I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct
size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate
amp rating.
