GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to
protect the operator from electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUND-
ING provides the path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with
ALL local codes and ordinances.
If a plug is provided with your machine DO NOT modify
the plug. If it will not fit your electrical receptacle, have a
qualified electrician install the proper connections to
meet all electrical codes local and state. All connections
must also adhere to all of OSHA mandates.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equip-
ment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding con-
ductor.
DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding con-
ductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
PLUGS/RECEPTACLES
• Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is
not grounded properly or if the electrical
configuration does not comply with local and state
electrical codes.
• MAKE CERTAIN the machine is disconnected from
power source before starting any electrical work.
• MAKE SURE the circuit breaker does not exceed
the rating of the plug and receptacle.
The motor supplied with your machine is a 240 volt, 60
hertz, single phase motor. Never connect the green or
ground wire to a live terminal
WARNING
!
WARNING
!
A machine with a 240 volt plug should only be
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug.
EXTENSION CORDS
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, use the
proper gauge of extension cord. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your machine will draw.
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter
of the extension cord is. If in doubt of the proper size of
an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in a loss of power and overheating.
USE ONLY a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong
grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the
machine's plug.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is
marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indi-
cate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make certain the extension cord is properly sized, and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a worn or
damaged extension cord immediately or have it repaired
by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
