POWER REQUIREMENTS
The PFT505 is electrically powered and requires a 120v/60 cycle/6.0 amp AC current supply. Before
operating the unit, make certain that the available voltage is the same as voltage shown on the
nameplate.
GROUNDING
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is
equipped with an approved three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. If your unit is
for use on less than 150 volts, it has a plug like that shown in Figure A. An adapter, Figures B and C,
is available for connecting Figure A plugs to two-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug,
etc. must be connected to permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.Refer to "Tool
Set Up" page 3.
EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool's plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, check the electrical source for proper grounding and follow
the instructions below.
• Connect to an electrical source with 20 amps maximum circuit protection.
• Before performing any repair or maintenance, disconnect the tool from the electrical source.
• Inspect cord for cuts, cracking and other external damage.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death. Refer to “Operator Safety
Instructions” on page 3.
