eLeCTrICAL INFOrMATION
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 EDGE SANDER DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWer SUPPLY
WArNING:
YOUR EDGE SANDER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A
220V, 15-AMP. MINIMUM BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT
IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
GrOUNdING
This Edge Sander 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 Edge Sander is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. Once
a plug is installed, 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 EDGE
SANDER, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE PLUG GROUNDING
PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
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 EDGE SANDER
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.
220V OPerATION
A 220V plug is not supplied with this Edge Sander and must be
purchased at your local hardware store. The 220V plug must be a CSA
listed plug suitable for 220V operation. This plug is illustrated in Fig.1.
Contact your authorized service centre or qualified electrician to install
the plug.
eXTeNSION COrdS
WArNING!
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE AN ExTENSION
CORD, BUT IF IT IS NECESSARY, READ THE FOLLOWING.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power.
Depending on the length of extension cord needed, use the table (Fig.2)
to determine the minimum wire gauge (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge).
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire
thickness must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample
voltage to the Edge Sander motor. The smaller the gauge of the
extension cord, the thicker it will be in diameter. Refer to Fig.2 for wire
length and size.
MAGNeTIC SWITCH ANd eMerGeNCY STOP bUTTON
Starting and Stopping the edge Sander
The magnetic switch (A) Fig.3 is located on the front right side of the
sander. To turn the sander “On” press the green button (B). To stop the
sander, push the red emergency stop button (C). Once you push down
on the emergency stop button (C), twist the button clockwise until it
pops up, only then will you be able to restart the sander.
