UNPACKING
The machine is properly packaged and is
shipped completely in a crate for safe
transportation. When unpacking, carefully
inspect the crate and ensure that nothing
has been damaged during transit. Open the
crate and check that the machine is in good
condition.
PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
This sander is for use on a normal 120-volt
circuit and is factory-equipped with a
specific electric cord and plug to permit
connection to a proper electric circuit. Make
sure that the sander is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. If an adaptor plug is used, it must be
attached to the metal screw of the
receptacle.
To prevent electrical hazards, have a
qualified electrician ensure that the line is
properly wired.
Figure-1 120-Volts Outlet for CT174
It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CT174. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
In case it is necessary to use an extension
cord, make sure the extension cord does
not exceed 50-feet in length and the cord is
14-gauge to prevent motor damage.
Your CT174 is equipped with a cord having
3-prongs which fits a 3 prong grounding
receptacle as shown in figure-3. Do not
remove the grounding prong to fit it into a 2-
pronged outlet. Always check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt.
WARNING
CT174 is a heavy machine, do not over-
exert yourself. Use fork truck or other
mechanical devices for safe moving.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
