M1107 Bench grinder

ELECTRICAL

SAFETY

110V Operation

Your bench grinder needs a 110 volt power supply. When choosing a power supply outlet for the Model M1107 bench grinder, use a circuit that is protected with a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other machines or tools at the same time will add to the total load being applied to the circuit. Add up the load ratings of all machines on the circuit. If this number exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different circuit.

Extension Cords

When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the following guidelines:

Use cords rated for Standard Service.

Never exceed a length of 50 feet.

Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger.

Insure cord has a ground wire and pin.

Do not use cords in need of repair.

Grounding

This grinder must be grounded! The electrical cord sup- plied comes with a grounding pin. Do not remove it (see Figure 2). If your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed.

Note: When using an adapter, the adapter must be grounded.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical out- let and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 AWG copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed or serious injury may occur.

Figure 2. Never remove the grounding

pin!
