3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between
150 - 250 volts
, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
D,
Figure 2. The tool has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in
D
. Make sure the
tool is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the
tool 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 tool should comply with
all local codes and ordinances.

Voltage conversion
To switch the incoming power leads for 230 volt
operation, follow the wiring diagram on the
inside cover of motor junction box. To access
junction box, remove filters and cover (part #1,
section 10.1.1
).
The plug on the end of the motor cord must be
replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug rated for
240V.

Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged. Try
to place equipment within reach of the power
source. If an extension cord is necessary, make
sure it is in good condition and heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table
1 shows correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Operation
8.1
Control switch
Refer to Figure 3.
The green pilot lamp (A) will be illuminated
whenever there is power connected
to the
dust collector, not just when the machine is
running.
Do not assume that no light means
there is no power to the machine.
If the bulb is
bad, there will be no indication. Always check
before use.
Pull out on switch (B) to start machine. Push
switch in to stop.
The safety key (C) prevents unauthorized use of
the machine. Remove this key to deactivate the
switch; insert it to restart.
