6.0 Electrical connections
All electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance
with all local codes and
ordinances. Failure to comply may result in
serious injury.
The Power Switch (part no. 737006) that
accompanies the JRL-912 Router Lift Stand is
rated for 120-volt power, and comes with a plug
designed for use on a circuit with a
grounded outlet
that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1
The switch has a 120-volt receptacle on the back
for connecting a router (not included).
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in
off position.
Local codes take precedence over recommen-
dations.
6.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
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.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service pe r sonnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less
than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
A, Figure
6-1. An adapter, shown in B , may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
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, and the like, extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.
In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.
6.2 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment within reach of the power
source. If an extension cord becomes necessary,
be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Table 2 shows recommended size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
