Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
•
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
•
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

WIRE GAUGE
An undersized cord decreases line voltage, causing loss of power and overheating. All cords
should use a ground wire and plug pin. Replace any damaged cords immediately.
Plug Connection
1. Have an electrician install the correct plug for the application.
2. Once hooked up, turn on the power supply and start the machine.
3. For three phase applications, check that the motor is running in
the correct direction.
4. If not, cut the power to the machine. Swap the position of any two
of the three power wires; but DO NOT change the position of the
green grounding wire!
