WARNING!
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING:
YOUR PLANER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 220V, 20
AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A 20 AMP. TIME DELAY FUSE
OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY
CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
Your Planer 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 PLANER 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.
GROUNDING
This Planer 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 Planer 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 OF YOUR
PLANER, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG
IN ANY MANNER.
220V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your Planer is ready to operate on 220V
circuit. This Planer 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 FOR THEY
ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN CANADA.
A 220V plug is not supplied with the Planer and must be purchased at
your local hardware store. The 220V plug must be a CSA listed plug
suitable for 220V operation. This plug is illustrated in Fig.1. Contact
your authorized service center or qualified electrician to install the plug.
The Planer must comply with all local and national codes after the 220V
plug is installed.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the
following table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American
Wire Gauge) extension cord. 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 motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and
size.
