240 VOLT,

SINGLE PHASE OPERATION

The motor supplied with your tool is a dual voltage 120/240 volt motor. If it is desired to operate your dust collector at 240 volts, single phase, contact your local Authorized Delta Service Center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to rewire your dust collector motor for 240 volt operation and wiring a 240 volt attachment plug to the power supply cord.

The tool with a 240 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug illustrated in Fig. 26. No adapter is available or should be used with the 240 volt plug.

AS A PRECAUTION IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the tool. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Figs. 27 & 27A, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
