KC-129C POWER SUPPLY (120V-1 PHASE)

WARNING: YOUR KC-129C (120V) MUST BE CONNECTED TO A

120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS

WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.

120V OPERATION

As received from the factory, your bandsaw is wired for 120V operation.

This bandsaw is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a

plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.

GROUNDING

This bandsaw must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, to

reduce the risk of electric shock. This bandsaw must be equipped with

a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor 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.

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 BANDSAW 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.

WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR

BANDSAW, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG

IN ANY MANNER.

WARNING: DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR 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. Use the

following table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American

Wire Gauge) extension cord. Use only extension cords 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

motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
