ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE DUST COLLECTOR DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
Power suPPly
wArNING:
YOUR DUST COLLECTOR MUST BE CONNECTED TO A
120V WALL OUTLET, WITH A MINIMUM 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT
AND USE A 15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER.
FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM
SHOCK OR FIRE.
GrouNdING
Your Dust Collector must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are
properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
wArNING:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS DUST
COLLECTOR CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY
WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF
THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT
REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
If this Dust Collector should malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This Dust Collector is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
wArNING:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING, DO NOT REMOVE
OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
120V oPerAtIoN
As received from the factory, your Dust Collector is ready to run for 120V
operation. This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
wArNING:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR(S) FOR THEY
ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDI-
NANCES. NEVER USE IN CANADA.
eXteNsIoN cords
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. If you do
not have a choice, use the table in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire
size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3-
wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-
hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire
size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage
to the Dust Collector motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
