Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric cur- rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accor- dance with all local codes and ordinances.

Electrocution or a fire can result if the machine is not grounded correct- ly. Make sure all electri- cal circuits are ground- ed. Do not use the machine if it is not grounded.

This machine must have a ground prong in the plug to help ensure that it is grounded. DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

NOTICE

The wire on the power cord with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the grounding conductor.

Extension Cords

110V Operation

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord at 110V:

Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service (grade S) or better.

The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50 feet long or less.

DO NOT use a cord longer that 100 feet!

No single list of electrical guidelines can be comprehensive for all shop environ- ments. Operating this machinery may require additional electrical upgrades spe- cific to your machine and shop environ- ment. It is your responsibility to make sure your electrical systems comply with all local electrical codes and ordinances.
