ELECTRICAL
Power Specifications
Your machine is wired for 120 volts, 60hz alternating current. Before connecting the machine to
the power source, make sure the power source is OFF.
Before connecting the power, verify that the available power supply is the same as listed on the
machine nameplate. The voltage and frequency range is ±5% volts and ±1% hertz.
Considerations
•
Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
•
The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with an amperage
rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
•
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. Before connecting the motor
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric
current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine.
•
All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
motor.
Grounding Instructions
•
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
•
This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.
CAUTION:
All electrical connections must be done by a qualified
electrician in compliance with all local codes and ordinances. Failure to comply may
result in serious injury.
WARNING:
Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected
to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if
any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
WARNING:
If the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded, contact a qualified
electrician. Failure to comply may cause serious or fatal injury.
