Powermatic OES9138 operating instructions Volt Operation

Wire the sander to a grounded, metal-enclosed wiring system in accordance with the requirements of the National Electric Code. Consult the electrical schematics on pages 30 and 31 for clarification.

Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment- grounding conductor (see Figure 6). If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment- grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the Edge Sander.

230 Volt Operation

The Model OES9138 Edge Sander single phase unit is designed to run on 230 volt power only.

The three phase unit is pre-wired for 230 volt power, but can be converted to 460 volt if so desired (see “Converting to 460 Volt” below).

For 230 volt operation, you may either connect a UL/CSA listed 230V plug (similar to the one shown in Figure 7) or “hard-wire” the machine directly to a control panel. If hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect is available for the operator. The edge sander must comply with all local and national codes after being wired.

1.If it is to be hard-wired, make sure the fuses have been removed or the breakers have been tripped in the circuit to which the Edge Sander will be connected. Place a warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being turned on while the machine is being wired.

2.Refer to “Electrical Connections” on pages 30-32, for connecting the motor leads.

3.The Edge Sander 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.
