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 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source,
make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double
thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are not
intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension
cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation
system is for added protection against injury resulting from possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. REPAIR OR REPLACE
DAMAGED CORDS.
Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on equipment to reduce risk of electric shock. When
provided, this plug will fit in the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table in Fig. D-1 shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the cord.
