Do not connect dust collector to the power source
until all assembly steps have been completed.
The motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified. Normal loads will
be handled safely on voltages not more than 10%
above or below specified voltage. Running the
unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn-out.
Heavy loads require that the voltage at motor
terminals be no less than the voltage specified
on nameplate.
Improper connection of equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while
in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you do not
understand grounding instructions or if you
are in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved cord
rated at 120V and a 3-prong grounding type
plug (see Figure A)for your protection against
shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly
into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong
grounding typer eceptacle, as shown (see
Figure A).
• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in
any manner. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical shock.

Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of
plug when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordin-
ances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will
not fit in outlet, have proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged,
have repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord
is the grounding wire. 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.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is enco-
untered, it must be replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and
local codes and ordinances.
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding
adapter (see Figure B) is available for conn-
ecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is properly
grounded.

• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding
adapter unless permitted by local and national
codes and ordinances. (A 3-prong to 2-prong
grounding adapter is not permitted in Canada.)
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
