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 MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING:
YOUR INDUSTRIAL SHAPER MUST BE CONNECTED
TO A 220V, 20-AMP. MINIMUM BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO
CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK
OR FIRE.
GROUNDING
This Industrial Shaper 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. 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
INDUSTRIAL SHAPER, 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 INDUSTRIAL
SHAPER 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 plug and power cord is not provided with this Industrial Shaper.
You may either connect the proper UL/CSA listed plug or hardwire
the machine directly to your electrical panel provided there is a
disconnect near the machine for the operator. The plug and the
required wall outlet are illustrated in Fig.2.
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.3) 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 Industrial Shaper motor. The smaller the gauge
of the extension cord, the thicker it will be in diameter. Refer to Fig.3
for wire length and size.
Starting and Stopping the Industrial Shaper
This Industrial Shaper comes with an easy access control panel with
spindle height digital readout (A) Fig.4, On button (B), emergency
stop button (C) and forward/reverse switch (D).
To turn the machine “On” press the On button (B). To stop the
machine, push the red emergency stop button (C). Once you push
down on the emergency stop button, twist the button clockwise until
it pops up, only then will you be able to restart the machine.
