Electrical connections
The JDC-500 Dust Collector is rated at
115/230V power, pre-wired for 115 volt, and
supplied with a plug.
Before connecting to power source, be sure
switch is in
off
position.
It is recommended that the dust collector, when
operated on
115 volt power
, be connected to a
dedicated 20 amp circuit with a 30 amp circuit
breaker or time-delay fuse marked “D”. When
operated on
230 volt power
, it is recommended
that the dust collector be connected to a
dedicated 15 amp circuit with a 20 amp circuit
breaker or time-delay fuse marked “D”.
Local
codes take precedence over recom-
mendations.

Grounding instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. 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.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service pe
r
sonnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-
prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less than 150
volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
A,
Figure 2. An adapter, shown in
B
and
C
, may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in
B
if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet can
be installed by a qualified electrician.
This
adapter is not permitted in Canada.
The green-
colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending
from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
