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 WET/DRY SHARPENER MUST BE CONNECTED
TO A 120V, 15-AMP. MINIMUM BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO
CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK
OR FIRE.
gROUNDINg
This Wet/Dry Sharpener 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 Wet/Dry Sharpener is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. 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
WET/DRY SHARPENER, 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 WET/DRY
SHARPENER 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.
120V OPERATION
Your Wet/Dry Sharpener comes wired for 120V operation. The plug
and the required wall outlet are illustrated in Fig.1.
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. Depend-
ing 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 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.
Starting and Stopping the Wet/Dry Sharpener
The sealed Forward/OFF/Reverse switch (A) Fig.3 is located on the
front of the machine. Before turning on the Wet/Dry Sharpener, first
determine the desired direction of rotation of the grinding wheel/
stropping wheel.
To turn the machine “On” and set the grinding wheel/stropping wheel
in the Forward direction (Counterclockwise), push the switch upwards
to the Forward position.
To turn the machine “On” and set the grinding wheel/stropping wheel
in the Reverse direction (Clockwise), push the switch downwards to
the Reverse position.
To stop the machine, push the switch to the centre OFF position.
