Electrical Connections, Installing Dust Chute

Electricals should be installed so that they are protected from damage and exposure. Be sure to properly ground the machine frame.

Exposed metal parts, such as the bed surface, have been given a protective coating at the factory. This should be removed with a soft rag and kerosene or a good commercial solvent. Do not use an abrasive pad.

Installing Dust Chute

Mount the dust chute with the washer head screws, using a 10mm wrench. See Figure 2.

Installing Handwheel

Mount the handwheel by fitting the notches in the handwheel over the pins on the shaft. See Figure 3.

Electrical Connections

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

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.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the planer-molder.

It is recommended that the PM15 Planer-Molder be connected to a grounded and dedicated, minimum 40 amp circuit with a 40 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over recommendations.
