ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUP-
PLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH
GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE
MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Both a manual circuit breaker (or similar device) as
well as an electrical plug (similar to the one shown) are
recommended and should be installed by a qualified
electrician.
Use locally approved wire
A
that includes a separate
grounding wire and a 3-prong grounding type plug
B
with a matching receptacle
C
.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short cir-
cuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the
operator.
The motor of the “M1” model of this machine is wired
for 220 V single phase operation. As with many station-
ary industrial type machines, because each installa-
tion situation is unique, this planer is supplied without
a plug. The installation of an appropriate plug must be
performed by a qualified electrician.
The machine must be connected to an electrical
source using a power cord that has a grounding wire,
which must also be properly connected to the ground-
ing prong on the plug. The outlet must be properly in-
stalled and grounded and all electrical connections
must be made in accordance with all local codes and
regulation.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating on
the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly,
your machine may be operating on a circuit that is
close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an
unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power
failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician or our
service department.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with
your machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole recep-
tacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage
listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
The accompanying chart shows the correct size exten-
sion cord to be used based on cord length and motor
I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the number, the heavier the gauge.
