POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less
than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is
used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have
3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF”
position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the
machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage
the machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120V, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the
machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to
a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
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 shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace
damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal
rating less than 150 volts:
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Fig. A, the ma- chine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B, may be used to
