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 20 A 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 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.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120 V, 60 Hz alternating current. Before connecting the machine
to the power source, make sure the switch is in the OFF position.

DANGER:
THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DANGER:
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.
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.
