CONNECTING TOOL TO POWER SOURCE

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. 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 tool’s plug. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of the same char- acteristics as indicated on the tool. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will dam- age the motor..

WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOL TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE TOOL IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your tool is wired for 120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. The no-load speed of the motor is 5200 RPM.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro- vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an elec- tric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conduc- tor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or with- out yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces- sary, 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 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the tool’s plug, as shown in Fig. 1

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2.Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:

If the tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. 1, the tool will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. 2, may be used to connect this plug to a matching 2-con- ductor receptacle as shown in Fig. 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a per- manent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.

WARNING: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN, HAVE A

QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
