Electrical Connections
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.
The PM1300TX is equipped with a single phase, 115/230 volt motor. It is factory wired for 115 volts. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other machines (tools, lights, heaters, etc.) at the same time will add to the electrical load. Thus, it is recommended that the machine be connected to a dedicated circuit, with a 30 amp circuit breaker or fuse for 115 volt operation; and a 20 amp circuit breaker or fuse for 230 volt operation. Local codes will take precedence over recommendations.
The dust collector can be
To convert to 230 volt operation:
1.Disconnect from power source; unplug!
2.Connect the motor leads as shown in the diagram inside the motor junction box; this diagram is also shown on page 21 of this manual.
3.Open the control box cover by removing the six screws, and move the voltage switch to 230V.
4.Replace the plug on the power cord with an appropriate UL/CSA listed 230V plug.
5.When finished wiring,
Grounding Instructions
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.
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
The hose or ductwork you use to connect the tool to the dust collector must also be grounded.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the dust collector.
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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord is needed, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine’s motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Use the chart in Figure 11 as a general guide in choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
