Delta 50-775 Extension Cords, Operating Controls, ON/OFF Switch, Locking Switch OFF Position

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the tool. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. 22 & 23, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

OPERATING CONTROLS

FOR OPERATOR SAFETY, BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE DUST INTAKE HOSE IS ALWAYS ATTACHED TO THE DUST INTAKE PORT. THE ROTATING FAN LOCATED INSIDE THE BLOWER HOUSING IS ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE DUST IN-TAKE PORT AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS. ALWAYS WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT WEAR JEWELRY AND KEEP FINGERS AND ALL FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE DUST INTAKE PORT. FOLLOW THE SAFETY RULES EARLIER IN THIS MANUAL.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The on/off switch is located on the side of the motor. To turn the dust collector “ON,” push switch toggle (A) Fig. 24, toward the “ON” mark. To turn the dust collector “OFF,” push switch toggle (A) toward the “OFF” mark.

LOCKING SWITCH IN

THE “OFF” POSITION

When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use. This can be done by grasping the switch toggle (A) Fig. 25, and pulling it out of the switch (B) as shown. With the switch toggle (A) Fig. 25, removed, the switch will not operate. However, should the switch toggle (A) be re- moved while the dust collector is running, it can be turned “OFF” once, but cannot be restarted without inserting the switch toggle.
