WARNINg!
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SE-
RIOUS 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 MORTISER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 110V-120V,
15-AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN
RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
gROUNDINg
This mortiser 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 mortiser 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.
Your mortiser 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:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR MORTISER,
DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MAN-
NER.
WARNINg:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS MORTISER 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.
110V-120V OpERATION
As received from the factory, your mortiser is ready to run for 110V-120V
operation. This mortiser is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
WARNINg:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR 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. Use the
chart in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire
Gauge) extension cord. 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
mortiser motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
RESET bUTTON (OVERLOAD pROTECTOR)
This mortiser comes with an overload reset button (A) Fig.3. If the motor
overheats or there is low voltage, a safety mechanism stops the motor.
Press the reset button and restart the mortiser. If the mortiser does not
restart, wait 5 minutes before restarting.
