Installation, Disabling & Locking Switch | Grizzly H8242 specification

Installation

When installing the H8242 switch, use the wiring diagram in Figure 2 to ensure proper wire con- nections.

This switch is intended to be connected to stranded wire with insulated quick-discon- nect crimp-type female wire terminals hav- ing a 1⁄4" tab.

All crimps must be "pull-checked" to ensure that wires are securely crimped and will not fall out with moderate tension or when exposed to normal machine vibration.

*The machine MUST be connected to a verified ground. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of elec- tric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

Disabling & Locking Switch

The switch can be disabled and locked by insert- ing a padlock through the ON/START button, as shown. Locking the switch in this manner can prevent unauthorized operation of the machine, which is especially important if the machine is not stored inside an access-restricted building.

IMPORTANT: Locking the switch with a padlock only restricts its function. It is not a substitute for disconnecting power from the machine when adjusting or servicing.

Children or untrained people can be killed or seriously injured by this machine. This risk increases with unsupervised operation. To help prevent unsupervised operation, disable and lock the switch before leaving machine unattended! Place key in a well- hidden or secure location.

NOTICE

The padlock shaft diameter is important to the disabling function of the switch. With any padlock used to lock the switch, test the switch after installation to ensure that it is properly disabled.
