Figure 2- 12_/2 " Thickness Planer shown on top section
of Optional Multi-Purpose Stand Model No. 22250
POWER SOURCE
WARNING:
Do not connect planer to the power
source until all assembly steps have been completed.
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified° Normal loads wilt be handled safe-
ly on voltages net more than 10% above or below spec-
ified voltage. Running the unit on voltages which are not
within range may cause overheating and motor burn-
out. Heavy loads require that voltage at motor terminals
be no less than the voltage specified on nameplate.
o Power supply to the motor is controlled by a rocker
switch Removing the rocker switch will lock the unit
and prevent unauthorized use.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
improper connection of equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock_ Equipment should be grounded while in use to
protect operator from electrical shock.
o Check with a qualified electrician if you do not
understand grounding instructions or if you are in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
o This tool is equipped with an approved cord rated at
150V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (see Figure
3) for your protection against shock hazards.
o Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a
properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-
type receptacle, as shown (see Figure 3).

Receptacle
= Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the termi-
nals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.
= Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all Jocal codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug
provided
If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician,
° Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility_
= Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire_ If repair or replacement of the elec-
tric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal
• A 2-prong wall receptacle must be replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING;
Any receptacle replacement should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 4) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.

= Do not use a 3-prong to 2*prong grounding adapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and
ordinances, (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
is not permitted in Canada)
Where a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is
permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side
of the adapter must be securely connected to a
permanent electrical ground such as a properly
grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box
or a properly grounded wire system.
o Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet
boxes are not properly grounded. To ensure proper
ground, grounding means must be tested by a quali-
fied electrician_
EXTENSION
CORDS
o The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power,
•
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
= The minimum extension cord wire size is AW.G. t4.
Do not use extension cords over 25 feet long.
° Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-poie receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
o If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.
