The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in Figure 9.
230 Volt Operation
If 230 volt,
1.Disconnect machine from power source.
2.This dovetailer is supplied with six motor leads that are connected for 115 volt operation, as shown in Figure 10. Reconnect these six motor leads for 230 volt operation, also shown in Figure 10.
3.The 115 volt attachment plug (Figure 8), supplied with the dovetailer, must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230 volt operation, similar to the one illustrated in Figure 11. Contact your local authorized WMH Tool Group service center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The dovetailer must comply with all local and national codes after the 230 volt plug is installed.
4.The dovetailer with a 230 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration. No adapter is available or should be used with the 230 volt plug.
Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.
Extension cords
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Use the chart in Figure 12 as a general guide in choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
