ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a 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 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 an electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with
the green insulation (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
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly
grounded.
USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-prong
plugs and 3-prong outlets that accept the tool's plug as
shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
THIS PLANER IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT
EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
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 below shows the
correct size to be used according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using
it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 A time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to
the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position
and the electric current is rated the same as the current
stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower
voltage will damage the motor.
THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO
PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
