If the jointer is to be hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect is available for the operator. During hard-wiring of the machine, make sure the fuses have been removed or the breakers have been tripped in the circuit to which the jointer 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.

Grounding Instructions

This machine must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

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. 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. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the electrical characteristics listed on the motor nameplate match those of the power source, and make sure the circuit on which the jointer will be used is properly fused and that the wire size is correct.

Converting from 230 Volt to 460 Volt (Three Phase Only)

Refer to Figure 14.

Consult the wiring diagram inside the starter box cover. A similar diagram is also included at the back of this manual. The Jointer must comply with all local and national codes after being wired.

1.Remove the starter box cover and adjust the dial on the overload relay as close as possible to the amperage of the motor at 460V, as listed on the jointer’s motor plate.

2.Move the fuse from the 230V slot to the 460V slot.

3.Re-connect the incoming leads to the motor in accordance with 460 volt operation, as shown in the wiring diagram.

4. If using a plug, install a proper UL/CSA
