6.0 Electrical connections
All electrical connections must
be done by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all local codes and ordinances. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury.
The LF-20 Lockformer is rated at 115-volt power
only, and is supplied with a plug designed for use on
a circuit with a
grounded outlet that looks like the
one pictured in Figure 6-1.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in
off position.
It is recommended that the Lockformer be
connected to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with circuit
breaker or fuse. If connected to a circuit protected
by fuses, use time delay fuse marked “D”.
Local
codes take precedence over recommendations.
6.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine 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 personnel 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.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit,
and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A in Figure 6-1. A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in
sketch B may be used to connect this plug to a 2-
pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adaptor should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear,
lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.
