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 PLANER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 230V, 20
AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO
CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR
FIRE.
GROUNDING
This planer 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 planer must be 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.
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 PLANER 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.
230V SINGLE PHASE OPERATION
A 230V plug is not supplied with the planer and must be purchased at
your local hardware store. The 230V plug must be suitable for 230V
operation. Contact a qualified electrician to install the plug. The planer
must comply with all local and national codes after the 230V plug is
installed.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the
chart in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire size (mm squared)
extension cord needed. 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
size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage
to the motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
A qualified electrician MUST size cords over 50 feet long to prevent
motor damage.
