ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
& CONTROLS
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!
220V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your planer is ready to operate on a
220V circuit. This planer is intended for use on a circuit that has an
NEMA L6-30 outlet and a plug
which looks like the one illustrated in
Fig.1.
A 220V
NEMA L6-30 plug
is not supplied with the planer and must be
purchased at your local hardware store. This plug and prong
configuration is illustrated in Fig.1. Contact your authorized service
center or qualified electrician to install the plug. The planer must
comply with all local and national codes after the 220V plug is installed.
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.
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.
WARNING:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR
PLANER, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG
IN ANY MANNER, SEE FIG.1.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of an extension cord
IS NOT RECOMMENDED
. Instead, plan
your work area to eliminate the need of an extension cord. If it is
absolutely necessary to use a 220V extension cord, make sure to use
a minimum of 10 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet. The cord
must also have the necessary NEMA L6-30 connectors. Please note
that the use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To
prevent damage to the motor, have a qualified electrician size the
extension cord if you require it to exceed 50 feet.
MAGNETIC SWITCH, ON AND OFF BUTTONS
This machine is equipped with a 220V magnetic switch (A) Fig.2, it is
mounted on the switch support (D). When the planer is connected to its
power source, the emergency stop button (C) must be disengaged
(twist it counterclockwise to make it pop out), only then can the “On”
button (B) be depressed to turn motor on. To turn the motor off, depress
the emergency stop button. If you have finished all operations, depress
the emergency stop button and turn clockwise to lock it.
