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-
KC-790FX- 110V-220V, 13A/6.5A. Pre-wired 220V.
KC-790FX-DC- 110V-220V, 15/7.5A (13A/6.5A + 2/1A). Pre-wired
220V.
WARNING:
YOUR SANDER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 220V
WALL OUTLET, WITH A MINIMUM 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT AND
USE A 15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE
TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK
OR FIRE.
GROUNDING
Your sander must be properly grounded. 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 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.
If this sander should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This sander is 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.
WARNING:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING, DO NOT REMOVE
OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
220V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your sander is ready to run for 220V
operation. This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1A.
110V OPERATION
This sander comes with a dual voltage motor, it is possible to convert this
machine from 220V to 110V operation. Unless you are a qualified
electrician we do not recommend that you attempt the conversion
yourself. We highly recommend that you have a qualified electrician
make all wiring and component changes to make sure everything is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.The following parts would need to be changed for each model
and wiring would need to be modified as per wiring diagrams on the
following page.
KC-790FX (no dust collector)- 110V parts required
- 110V Main switch
- 110V Reset (18A)
- Power cord with 110V- 15 Amp. plug, as shown in Fig.1B.
KC-790FX (with dust collector)- 110V parts required
- 110V Main switch
- 110V Reset
- Power cord with 110V- 15 Amp. plug, as shown in Fig.1B.

WARNING:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR(S) FOR
THEY ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN CANADA.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. If
you do not have a choice, use the table in Fig.2 to determine the
minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord
needed for 220V operation. 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 sander motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length
and size.
