Powermatic PM1300TX manual Grounding Instructions, Cleaning the Canister Filter, Motor

Cleaning the Canister Filter

Clean the canister filter frequently to keep the collector's performance at its optimum. To clean the filter, turn the handle a couple of rotations so the dust falls into the clear plastic bag. Properly discard the plastic collector bag when full.

Motor

Make frequent inspections of the motor fan and blow out (with low pressure air hose) or vacuum any accumulation of foreign material in order to maintain normal motor ventilation.

Grounding Instructions

1.For all grounded, cord-connected tools:

This tool 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 tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: 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. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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.

2.For grounded, cord-connected tools rated less than 15 amperes and intended for use on a nominal

120V supply circuit:

This tool is intended for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated Sketch A in Figure 14. The tool has a grounding prong that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 14. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketch B, may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in Sketch C if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

3.For all other grounded, cord-connected tools:

This tool is rated more than 15 amperes and is intended for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120 volts, and is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel.
