Figure 2 - Install Handle

 

Do not use the machine until it is completely assembled 
and you have read and understood the entire operating 
manuals.

•  The machine must be installed in a well-lit area with    

correct power supply.

•  There must be enough clearance for the moving 

workpiece during operation. There must be enough 
room for safe operation of the machine.

POWER SOURCE

Do not connect to the power source until the machine is 
completely assembled. 

The machine is wired for 120 Volts, 60 Hz alternating 
current. Before connecting the machine to the power 
source, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position. 
Running the unit on voltages which are not within range 
may cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads 
require that voltage at motor terminals be no less than the 
voltage specified on nameplate.
•  Power supply to the motor is controlled by a locking 

rocker switch. Remove the key to prevent unauthorized 
use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor 
can result in the risk of electrical shock. 
•  The machine should be grounded while in use to protect 

operator from electrical shock. 

•  In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding 

reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an 
escape wire for the electricity. 

•  This machine is equipped with an approved 3-conductor 

cord rated at 120V and a 3-prong grounding type plug 
(Figure 4) for your protection against shock hazards. 

•  Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a 

properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type 
receptacle, as shown (Figure 4). 

•  The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly 

installed and grounded in accordance with all local 
codes and ordinances. 

•  Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if 

these instructions are not completely understood or if in 
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. 

•  Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, 

have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 
Use only 3-wire extension cords, that have 3-prong  
grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor 
receptacles that accept the machine's plug, as show in 
Figure 4.
