This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is actually grounded.
If it is not, it will be necessary to run a
separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire
from the outlet to a known ground. Under no
circumstances should the grounding pin from
any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious
injury may occur.

Grounding
This machine must be grounded!
See Figure 1.
The electrical cord for the Model W1671 is sup-
plied with a 3 prong plug. If your outlet does not
accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by
a qualified electrician or have an appropriate
adapter installed and grounded properly. An
adapter with a grounding wire does not guaran-
tee the machine will be grounded. The ground
source must be verified.

W1671 Mortising Machine can
only be operated at 110 volts. The motor sup-
plied with your new Mortising Machine is rated
at
3
⁄
4
H.P. and will draw approximately 8
amps.
When choosing an outlet for this machine, con-
sider using one with a 10 amp circuit breaker or
fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by
other machines or tools at the same time will
add to the electrical load being applied by the
Mortising Machine. Add up the load ratings of all
machines on the circuit. If this number exceeds
the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a
different outlet.
