Electrical 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 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.

Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all
relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
injury.
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
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 tool 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.
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool 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 a 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 tool is properly grounded.

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3 pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than
150 volts:
150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketch B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown
in Sketch C if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The green-
colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box.
