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.

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.

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 Planer. The machine should be connected to a dedicated circuit.

The use of an extension cord is not recommended for the WP2510 Planer.

230 Volt Operation

The Planer is factory wired for 230 volt, but can be converted to 460 volt if so desired (see “Converting From 230 Volt to 460 Volt”). You may either install a plug or “hard-wire” the Planer directly to a control panel.

If you are connecting a plug, use a proper UL/CSA listed 3-pole, 4-wire grounding plug suitable for 230 volt operation.

If the Planer is to be hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect is available for the operator.

During hard-wiring of the Planer, make sure the fuses have been removed or the breakers have been tripped in the circuit to which the Planer will be connected. Place a warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being turned on while the machine is being wired.
