Connecting Dust Collector to Power Source

CONNECTING DUST COLLECTOR TO

POWER SOURCE

Before connecting your dust collector to an electrical power system, be sure the motor rating agrees with the electrical system it is to be connected to.

SINGLE PHASE O P E R ATION

If the motor on your dust collector is wired for 115 Volt, single phase, the power cord is equipped with a plug that has two flat, parallel current-carrying prongs, and one longer round or U shaped ground prong which requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type receptacle, as shown in Fig. 20.

If the motor on your dust collector is wired for 230 Volt, single phase, the power cord is equipped with a plug that

has two flat, current-carrying prongs in tandem, and oneFig. 20 round or U shaped longer ground prong. This is used

only with the proper mating 3-conductor grounding type receptacle, as shown in Fig. 21.

When the three-prong plug on your dust collector is plugged into a grounded 3-conductor receptacle, the long ground prong on the plug contacts first so the machine is properly grounded before electricity reaches it.

CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RE-

CEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.

IF Y O U A R E N O T SURE,H AV E A CERTIFIED ELEC-

TRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
