230V Electrical Connection Instructions
Machine Transportation
CAUTION:
This machine will operate only on AC frequency and on electrical voltage shown on the motor nameplate. Make
sure you have the correct frequency and voltage before connecting the power cord to an outlet. The machine has
a plug as shown below.
DANGER:
Electrocution could occur if the machine is exposed to water or rain. Keep the machine in a dry building.
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if machine is improperly connected to the electrical system. To prevent possible electric
shock, always use a 3 wire electrical system connected to an electrical ground. For maximum protection against
electrical shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical
contractor.
DANGER:
Electrocution could occur if the ground pin is tampered with in any way. Do not cut, remove, or break the ground
pin. Do not try to fit a three-terminal plug into a receptacle or connector body other than a three plug receptacle
or connector body. If the outlet does not fit the plug, consult your electrical contractor.
DANGER:
Electrocution could occur if the machine is used with a damaged plug or power cord. If the cords or plugs are worn
or damaged in any way, have them replaced by an authorized service person or electrician.
If motor appears to labor or takes a considerable longer time to come up to speed reduce sanding pressure.
This machine must be connected to an electrically ground circuit in order to pro-
tect the operator from electric shock. This machine has an approved power cord
with three conductors as well as a plug with three terminals. Connect the plug into
a three holed receptacle. For maximum protection against electric shock, use a
circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter.
Extension Cords
Use only an approved three-pronged extension cord with two main conductors
and one earthing conductor. This machine is equipped
with a power cord. When greater range is needed follow the table
below to determine cable gauge of additional footage. Refer to the
chart to the right for extension cord information
To transport the machine, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure the power cable is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
2. Disconnect the handle plug connection. See figure 1.
3. Remove the belt cover.
4. Remove the fan belt.
5. Loosen the motor bolt. Using the ¾” wrench, turn the motor bolt counterclockwise.
6. Using the 9/16” wrench, remove the two hex nuts (1).
7. Lower the motor locating screws (2). To lower the motor locating screws, turn the screws
clockwise. Make sure the screws are aligned with the openings at the front of the motor
platform. See figure 2.
8. Slide the motor forward.
9. Remove the drive belt.
10. Remove the motor from the chassis.
To re-assemble the machine after transporting, follow this procedure:
1. Reposition motor on chassis.
2. Install the drum belt. Slide the motor back until adequate tension is achieved in belt.
3. Resecure the motor to the chassis.
4. Install the fan belt.
5. Install the belt cover.
6. Reconnect the handle plug.
