grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and

3. 240 VOLT SINGLE PHASE OPERATION
The motor supplied with your machine is a dual voltage,
120/240 volt motor. It is shipped
ready-to-run for 120 volt operation. However, it can be converted for 240 volt operation.
A qualified electrician should do the conversion, or the machine can be taken to an
Authorized Service Center. When completed, the machine must conform
to the National
Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances.
The machine is converted by re-wiring the motor for 240 volts, installing a 240 volt plug on the
power supply cord and replacing the switch with one that is rated for 240 volt operation.
Be sure the 240 volt plug is only used in an outlet having the same configuration as the plug
illustrated in Fig. C. No adapter should be used with the 240 volt plug.
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.
