CONNECTING MACHINE TO POWER SOURCE
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 AWG and
should be protected with a 20 amp, time lag fuse. Have a certified electrician repair or replace damaged or
worn cord immediately.Before connecting the motor to the power line, make certain the switch is in the OFF
position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the motor name-
plate. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.

ELECTRIC SHOCK.
This dust collector must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This dust collector is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
W ARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the out-
let is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dust collector. If it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This dust collector is for use on a normal 120-volt circuit
and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrat-
ed in Fig. 16.
If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temporary
adapter, shown in Fig. 17, may be used for connecting
the 3-prong grounding type plug to a 2-prong receptacle.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place with a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is
not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
