Grounding Instructions
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
The plug specified under "Circuit Requirements"
on the previous page has a grounding prong that
must be attached to the equipment-grounding
wire on the included power cord. The plug must
only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see
the following figures) that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

NOTICE
No adapter is available or should be used
with this machine. If the machine must be
reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and
after reconnection, the machine must com-
ply with all local codes and ordinances.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Minimum AWG (G4181) ......16 AWG, 3W, 300V
Minimum AWG (G7873) ......16 AWG, 4W, 300V
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
Serious injury could occur if you connect
machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until
instructed later in this manual.
