THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO
PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION
OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for electric current and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that
has an equipment-grounding
conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
electrical receptacle 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 electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
of the equip-
ment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding
conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the toot is properly
grounded.
The motor supplied with your Dust Collector is a dual
voltage 115/230 volt, single-phase
motor. It is shipped
wired for 115 or 120-volt application.
Never connect
the green wire to a live terminal. See OPERATING DUST
COLLECTOR section for directions on changing motor
voltage.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
A 3-PRONG GROUNDING
PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMEDI-
ATELY.

Wiring
Diagram
Motor and wires are installed as shown in wiring diagram.
Motor is assembled with approved, 3-conductor cord to be
used at 115/230 volts. Motor is prewired at the factory for
115 volts.
To use the dust collector with a 230V power supply, have a
qualified electrician rewire motor and attach a 230 volt,
15Athree-prong plug onto line cord.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE 1. FIGURE 1
shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
electrical receptacle is not available, an adapter as
shown in FIGURE 2 can be used to temporarily connect
this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The
adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be
connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a
properly grounded receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS
PROHIBITED
IN CANADA.

A tool with a 240-volt plug should only be connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as the plug
shown in FIGURE 3. No adapter is available or should
be used with the 240-vott plug.
CAUTION:
In all cases, make certain the electrical
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are
not sure have a certified electrician check the electrical
receptacle.
This Dust Collector is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
