ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Both a manual circuit breaker (or similar device) as well
as an electrical plug (similar to the one shown) are re-
commended and 

should be installed by a qualified

electrician

. Use locally approved wire that includes a

separate grounding wire 

, and a 3 prong grounding

type plug 

with a matching receptacle 

.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the oper-
ator. The motor of the “M1” model of this machine is
wired for 220V single phase operation. As with many sta-
tionary industrial type machines, because each instal-
lation situation is unique, this sander 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 grounding prong on the
plug. The outlet must be properly installed and ground-
ed and all electrical connections must be made in
accordance with all local codes and regulations.

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.

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.

CHECK POWER CONNECTION FOR POLARITY

After the wires have been connected it is necessary to
check if they are connected for proper polarity.

Press the start (green) button. The sanding belt should
move left to right as observed from the front of the
machine 

. If the sanding belt direction of rotation is

incorrect, press the stop (red) button and disconnect the
sander from power. Switch any two of the three wires at
L1, L2, L3 (for M2 and M3).

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of an extension cord is not generally recom-
mended for 220V equipment. If you find it necessary,
use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle 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 extension 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.

NOTE: VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS AND AMPERAGE DRAW FOR M2 & M3 3-PHASE MOTORS MAY NOT BE FULLY
DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL. FOR COMPLETE ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS REFER TO THE MOTOR I.D. NAME PLATE ON
THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A LICENSED QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE PROCEEDING.
