electrocution. Safely store power cord on the unit
to eliminate tripping hazards.
11.
Turn the unit “off” and disconnect the unit from the
power source before installing or removing
accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups,
or when making repairs. An accidental start- up
can cause serious injury.
12.
Turn the unit “off”, disconnect the unit from the
power source, and clean the table/work area
before leaving the area.
Power Connections
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your
machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire
and should be protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse.
If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension
cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and
matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s
plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line,
make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and
be sure that the electric current is of the same
characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line
connections should make good contact. Running on
low voltage will damage the machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or
operate the machine in damp locations
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded while in
use to protect the operator from electric shock.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines: In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to
a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
machine is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor
receptacles that accept the machine’s plug, as shown
in Fig. A. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
In all cases, make certain that the
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are
not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
Noise Emission
Given that there exists a relationship between noise
level and exposure times, it is not precise enough to
determine the need for supplementary precautions.
The factors affecting the true level of exposure to
operators are clearly the amount of time exposed, the
characteristics of working environment other sources
of dust and noise etc. For example, adjacent machines
in other words the level of ambient noise. It is possible
that exposure level limits will vary from country to
country.
Prop 65
Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products
can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to
the State of California to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling
wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for
personal protection. For more information go to
