ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 

8” JOINTER 

POWER SUPPLY 
WARNING:

 YOUR JOINTER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A            

30-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A 30-AMP TIME DELAY 
FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS 
WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE. 
 
Your jointer must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are properly 
grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, 
have it checked by a qualified electrician. 

WARNING:

 IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS JOINTER 

CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN 
USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF 
THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, 
HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. 
 

GROUNDING 

 
This jointer must be grounded. If it should malfunction or           
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric 
current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This jointer is equipped 
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and    
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate     
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all 
local codes and ordinances. 

WARNING: 

TO MAINTAIN PROPER 

GROUNDING OF YOUR JOINTER, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER 
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. 

 
CHANGING VOLTAGE 
 

The motor supplied with your King Canada 8

˝

 jointer is a dual         

voltage, 110/220V, single phase motor which is pre-wired for 220V 
operation. If you desire to operate the machine at 110V, the following 
instructions must be followed: 
 

1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 

2. The motor supplied with this jointer is supplied with six motor leads 

that are connected for 220V operation. Reconnect these six motor 
leads for 110V operation. 

3. There is no plug supplied with the motor, therefore to operate at 

220V, a plug with two flat, current-carrying prongs in tandem, and 
one round or “U” shaped longer ground prong, as shown in Fig. 17, 
must be installed. This plug is used only with proper mating              
3-conductor grounded receptacle, as shown in Fig. 17. For 110V 
operation, the plug must be replaced with a 110V standard plug. 

WARNING! 

ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN         
SERIOUS INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE JOINTER DISCONNECTED FROM THE 
POWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
