Grounding Instructions

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

This machine must be grounded. 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 dovetailer is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug similar to the one illustrated in Figure 8. The plug must be inserted 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.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the machine.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your dovetailer is ready to run at 115 volt operation. This dovetailer, when wired for 115 volts, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that look like the ones illustrated in Figure 8. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in Figure 9, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
