Grounding; Extension Cords - Grizzly G5959 Instruction Manual

Grounding

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 which must
be properly connected to 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.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-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.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug
grounded. Under no cir-
cumstances

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange
the placement of your equipment and the installed
wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.
Should it be necessary to use an extension, make
sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or
better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety to
determine the minimum gauge for the extension
cord. The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace
extension cords when they become worn or dam-
aged.
Wiring Diagram
A wiring diagram is provided at the back of this
manual should it be necessary to repair or revise
the wiring. Always utilize a qualified electrician
when doing any electrical work on this equipment.
We have covered some basic electrical
requirements for the safe operation of your
machine. These requirements are not nec-
essarily comprehensive. You must be sure
that your particular electrical configuration
complies with local and state codes.
Ensure compliance by checking with your
local municipality or a licensed electrician.
