Be sure that your particular electrical config- uration complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
Your Shop Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu- larly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, refer to the troubleshooting section in this manual or contact a qualified electrician or our service department.
Grounding
DO NOT use the machine if it is not grounded. Electrocution or fire may result if this machine is not grounded correctly. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides electric current a path of least resistance to reduce the risk of electric shock.
