Grounding & Plug Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain	110V	GROUNDED
malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of		5-15 RECEPTACLE
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current.		Grounding Prong
For 110V operation: This machine is equipped with a
power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a
grounding plug (similar to the figure on the right). The
plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle	5-15 PLUG
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in		Neutral Hot
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
For 220V operation: The plug specified under “Circuit	Figure 1. Typical 5-15 plug and receptacle.
Requirements for 220V” on the previous page has a
grounding prong that must be attached to the equipment-
grounding wire inside the included power cord. The plug
must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (similar		GROUNDED
to the figure on the right) that is properly installed
		6-15 RECEPTACLE
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
	Current Carrying Prongs
ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire
can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with
green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of
the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the	6-15 PLUG
equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying)		Grounding Prong
terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and meet the following requirements:

Minimum Gauge Size	12 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better)	50 ft.
	-12-

Figure 2. Typical 6-15 plug and receptacle.

Serious injury could occur if you con- nect the machine to power before completing the setup process. DO NOT connect to power until instructed later in this manual.

Voltage Conversion

The voltage conversion MUST be performed by a qualified electrician. To perform the voltage conversion, install the correct plug and rewire the motor to the new voltage, according to the provided wiring diagram. If the diagram included on the motor conflicts with the one in this manual, the motor may have changed since the manual was printed. Use the diagram provided on the motor.
