ELECTRICAL
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this product is approximately 3,900
rpm. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load
or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as
important as the motor's horsepower rating. A line intended
only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire
that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for
a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool
may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. 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 product 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.

to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or
replacement of the cord is required, do not con-
nect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.
The wire with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has
a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 1,
page 18. Only connect the product to an outlet having the
