Power Supply

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

T10500 Full-Load Current Rating

20

Amps

The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result— especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over- loading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following section.

Electrocution, fire, or equipment damage may occur if machine is not correctly grounded and connected to the power supply.

Circuit Information

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power sup- ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man- ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where mul- tiple machines will be running at the same time, consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec- essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per- sonnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon- nect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

For your own safety and protection of property, consult an electrician if you are unsure about wiring practices or electrical codes in your area.
