POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3- prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

The motor supplied with your 15” Planer is either a three horsepower, single phase motor, or a three horsepower, three phase motor. The three horsepower, single phase motor is wired for 230 Volt operation and the three horsepower, three phase motor is wired for 200-220 Volt operation. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

3.Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. Make sure the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this machine. If the machine must be re-connected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the re- connection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after re-connection, the machine should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE R E C E P TA C L E I N Q U E S T I O N I S P R O P E R LY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

230 VOLT, SINGLE PHASE OPERATION

If the motor on your machine is wired for 230 Volt, Single Phase operation, the power cord from the motor is equipped with a plug that has two flat, current-carrying prongs in tandem, and one round or “U”-shaped longer ground prong, as shown in Fig. A. This plug is used only with the proper mating 3-conductor grounding type receptacle as shown.

When the three prong plug on your machine is plugged into a grounded 3-conductor receptacle, as shown in Fig. A, the long ground prong on the plug contacts first so that the machine is properly grounded before electricity reaches it.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE R E C E P TA C L E I N Q U E S T I O N I S P R O P E R LY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

4. Permanently connected machines:

If the machine is intended to be permanently connected, the machine should be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system, or to a system having an equipment-grounding conductor.
