		Motor Specifications
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.
This grinder is designed to use a 3450 RPM motor. It is
wired for operation on 110-120 volts, 60 Hz. alternating
current. Before connecting the motor cord to power
source, make certain the switch is in the “OFF” position
and be sure the electric current is of the same
characteristics as stamped on the grinder nameplate.
	Connection To A Power Source
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type
outlet protected by a 15-amp dual element time delay fuse
or circuit breaker.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure
that your outlet, as pictured in Fig. 1, is properly
grounded; have it checked by a qualified electrician.
!	DANGER	To avoid electric shock, do not touch the
		metal prongs on the plug when installing
or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
!	DANGER	Failure to properly ground this power tool
		can cause electrocution or serious
shock, particularly when used near metal plumbing or
other metal objects. If shocked, your reaction could
cause your hands to hit the tool.,
!	WARNING	If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in
		any way, have it replaced immediately to

avoid shock or fire hazard.

Your unit is for use on 120 volts; it has a plug that looks like the one in Figure 1.

FIG. 1

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and grounding type plug, approved by Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian Standards Association. The ground conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end.

If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is of the two-prong type, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Have a qualified electrician replace the TWO-prong outlet with a properly grounded THREE-prong outlet.

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- 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.

Always use proper extension cord. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
