SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The Model H2801 is wired for 110V operation. The motor will safely draw 5 amps at 110V. If you operate this machine on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist and the circuit still trips, contact a quali- fied electrician or our service department.
A 10 amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used when fusing this jointer. Circuit breakers rated any higher may not be adequate to protect the cir- cuit from power surges.
Extension Cords
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with the Model H2801, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in the standard safety instructions 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.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing electric current a path of least resistance. This tool is equipped with a power cord having an
