Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment- grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment- grounding wire to a live (current carrying) 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.

For 240V Connection

The power cord and plug specified under "Circuit Requirements for 240V" on the previous page has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding prong. The plug must only inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances (see Figure 8).

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life.

Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords and the gauge smaller gauge sizes (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 at 240V

14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better)

50 ft.

The machine must be properly set up before it is safe to operate. DO NOT connect this machine to the power source until instructed to do later in this manual.

DO NOT modify the provided plug or use an adapter if the plug will not fit your receptacle. Instead, have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle on a power supply circuit that meets the requirements for this machine.
