Electrical Requirements, Grounding Instructions

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

!WARNING

TO PREVENT electrical shock, follow all electrical and safety codes, including the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations (OSHA). All electrical connections and wiring should be made by qualified personnel only.

TO REDUCE the risk of electrical shock, DO NOT use machine outdoors. DO NOT expose to rain. Store indoors in a dry area.

DO NOT connect the machine to the power source before you have completed the set up process. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

!WARNING

This machine MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUND- ING provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

If a plug is provided with your machine DO NOT modify the plug. If it will not fit your electrical receptacle, have a qualified electrician install the proper connections to meet all electrical codes local and state. All connections must also adhere to all of OSHA mandates.

IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equip- ment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding con- ductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding con- ductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

PLUGS/RECEPTACLES

!WARNING

•Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded properly or if the electrical configura- tion does not comply with local and state electrical codes.

•MAKE CERTAIN the machine is disconnected from power source before starting any electrical work.

•MAKE SURE the circuit breaker does not exceed the rating of the plug and receptacle.

The motor supplied with your machine is a 120 volt, alternating current, 60 hertz, single phase motor. It is shipped wired for 120 volt application. Never connect the green or ground wire to a live terminal.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an electrical receptacle as shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1 shows a NEMA approved 3-wire, 15 amp electrical plug and receptacle that have a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded electrical receptacle is not available, an adapter as shown in Figure 1-2 can be used to tem- porarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box. THIS

ADAPTER IS PROHIBITED IN CANADA.
