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!
