Extension Cords

Grounding

 

 

 

 

 

 

Should it be necessary to use an extension cord, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade

S)or better. Refer to chart in the Safety Instructions section to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no cir- cumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

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

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical 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.

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your Bandsaw. These requirements are not nec- essarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
