ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must
not be less than #12 wire with a 20 A time-lag fuse or a #14
wire with a 15 A time-lag fuse.
NOTE: When using an extension cord on a circuit with a #14
wire, the extension cord must not exceed 25 feet in length.
Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the
switch is in the off position and the electric current is rated
the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate.
Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor. This tool is
intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one
illustrated in Fig. A.
Fig. A shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded recep-
tacle is not available, an adapter (sold separately)
(Fig. B) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a
twocontact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. B) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a per-
manent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle
box.
WARNING
Never remove the grounding prong from
the power cord. If damaged, discontinue use of unit
and contact customer service for a replacement cord.
