Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
Work Lamp
The work lamp included with this machine is not
part of the electrical wiring of the machine. The
lamp must be connected to a separate grounded
120V circuit that accepts the included 5-15 plug.
Use only a replacement light bulb that is rated
40 watts or below. When changing the light bulb,
always disconnect the lamp from power and wait
for the bulb to cool.
The work lamp is only
designed to safely operate
with 120V power. Always
disconnect the work lamp
from power and wait for the
light bulb to cool before
replacing the bulb.

Voltage Conversion
The voltage conversion MUST be performed by
an electrician or qualified service personnel.
To perform the voltage conversion, install the
correct plug and rewire the motor to the new volt-
age, according to the provided wiring diagram on
Page 55.
The START/STOP switch is a dual-voltage switch
(110V/220V) and does not need to be re-wired or
replaced.
Note: If the diagram included on the motor con-
flicts with the one in this manual, the motor may
have changed since the manual was printed. Use
the diagram provided inside the motor wiring junc-
tion box.
To convert machine to 220V:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Replace the 5-15 plug on the power cord with
a 6-15 plug.
3.
Re-wire the motor as illustrated in the wiring
diagram on Page 55.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electri-
cian or qualified service personnel in accor-
dance with all applicable codes and stan-
dards, including the National Electric Code
(NEC) and the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
