ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE COMPRESSOR DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING: YOUR SANDER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V WALL
OUTLET, WITH A MINIMUM 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A
15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO
CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR
FIRE.
GROUNDING
Your sander must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are properly
grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS SANDER CAN
CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP
LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS
WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
If this sander should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This sander is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding con-
ductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING, DO NOT REMOVE OR
ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your sander is ready to run for 120V operation.
This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug
which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR(S) FOR THEY ARE
NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.
NEVER USE IN CANADA.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. If you do not
have a choice, use the table in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3-wire ex-
tension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole recep-
tacles which accept the tool's plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size
must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the
sander motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
