Grounding Instructions

This sander must be grounded while in use to

protect the operator from electric shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides 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 equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment- 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.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

Referring to Figure 8:

As received from the factory, your Oscillating Edge Sander is ready to run at 115-volt operation. This Oscillating Edge Sander, when wired for 115 volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrated in (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter shown in (B), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

Figure 8

The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

230 Volt Operation

Referring to Figure 9:

If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the following instructions must be followed:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.The JET Oscillating Edge Sander motor has four numbered leads that are factory connected for 115V operation, as shown in

(A). For 230V operation reconnect the leads as shown in (B).

3.The 115V attachment plug (C) supplied with the Oscillating Edge Sander must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation (D). Contact your local Authorized JET Service Center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The Oscillating Edge Sander must comply with all local and national codes after the 230-volt plug is installed.

4.The Oscillating Edge Sander with a 230-volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration as shown in

(D). No adapter is available nor should be used with the 230-volt plug.
