POWER SOURCE

Do not connect to the power source until the machine is 

completely assembled. 

The machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating 

current. Before connecting the machine to the power 

source, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position. 

Running the unit on voltages which are not within range 

may cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads 

require that voltage at motor terminals be no less than the 

voltage specified on nameplate.

•  Power supply to the motor is controlled by a single pole

  locking rocker switch. Remove the key to prevent 

  unauthorized use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor 

can result in the risk of electrical shock. 

•  The machine should be grounded while in use to protect 

   operator from electrical shock. 

•  In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding 

   reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an 

   escape wire for the electric current. 

•  This machine is equipped with an approved 

   3-conductor cord rated at 150V and a 3-prong 

   grounding type plug (Figure 5) for your protection 

   against shock hazards. 

•  Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a 

   properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type 

   receptacle, as shown (Figure 5) 

•  The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly 

   installed and grounded in accordance with all local 

   codes and ordinances. 

•  

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if 

   these instructions are not completely understood or if in 

   doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. 

•  

Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, 

   have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 

   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 show in 

   Figure 5

Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when 

installing or removing from outlet.

•  Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have

  repaired by an authorized service facility.

•  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 green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. 

A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see

Figure 6) may be used to connect this plug to a matching 

2-conductor receptacle as shown in figure 6. The tempo

-

rary adapter should be used only until a properly ground-

ed outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. 

In Canada, the use of temporary adapter is not permitted 

by the Canadian Electric Code.  Where permitted, the rigid 

green tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must be 

securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such 

as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly grounded 

outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.

•  Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes  

  are not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground,    

 

grounding means must be tested by a qualified 

  electrician.
