Electrical Requirements
When connecting the drum sander to the power
source outlet, the outlet must be properly
grounded to protect the operator from electrical
shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical
shock. This machine is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
to be inserted into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a 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.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly
grounded outlet protected by a 14-amp fuse or
circuit breaker.
Do not touch the prongs of
the power cord plug when plugging or
unplugging to or from an outlet.
If improperly grounded, this
power tool can cause serious injury from
electrical shock, particularly when used in
damp locations or near plumbing. If an
electrical shock occurs, there is the potential
of a secondary hazard such as your hands
coming in contact involuntarily with the
rotating grinder.
Electrical Connections
The model 10-20 Plus Drum Sander is rated at
115V, 1Ph. This sander is designed for use on a
circuit with an outlet that looks the one shown in
Fig. A, and has a grounding prong, also shown
in Fig. A. A temporary adapter (Fig. B) may be
used to connect the plug to a two-prong
receptacle (Fig. B) if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. A temporary adapter should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician.
This
adapter is not applicable in Canada. The
green colored lug must be fastened to the cover
plate screw.
Important : The adapter illustrated in Fig. B is for
use only if you already have a properly
grounded two-prong receptacle. If you are not
sure that your outlet is properly grounded, have
it checked by a qualified electrician.
Before plugging into the
power source, be sure that power switch is
in the OFF position.
Extension Cords
Use only three-wire extension cords that have
three-prong grounding type plugs and three-
prong receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Replace or repair damaged or worn core
immediately.
Use only UL Listed extension cords with this
product.
Improper use of extension cords may cause
inefficient operation of the sander that can result
in overheating. Be sure the extension cord is
rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor.
For the proper gauge for the sander in use, see
the chart in Table 1.
