5.0 Electrical connections
All electrical connections must be done by a qualified electrician in compliance with all
local codes and ordinances. Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Mains connection and any extension cords used must comply with applicable regulations.
The mains voltage must comply with the information on the machine license plate. The dust collector comes
with a plug designed for use on a circuit with a
grounded outlet.
Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other machines, tools, lights, heaters, etc. at the same time will add to
the electrical load. A dedicated circuit to the dust collector will offer best results since dust collectors are
generally used while other tools are running.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch is in
off
position.
5.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this appliance. If the appliance must be reconnected for use on a different type
of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the
appliance should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
