ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY
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
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The motor
of this machine is wired for 120V single phase opera-
tion and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a
3-prong grounding plug
A
to fit a grounded type recep-
tacle
B
. Do not remove the 3rd prong (grounding pin)
to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket or extension
cord. If an adaptor plug is used
C
, it must be attached
to the metal screw of the receptacle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some areas.
Check your local codes. If you have any doubts or if the
supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet,
consult a qualified eletrician before proceeding.
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 pow-
er 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 list-
ed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-
heating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size
extension cord to be used based on cord length and mo-
tor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the number, the heavier the gauge.
