Be sure to disconnect this machine from the power source whenever maintenance, adjust-
ments, or servicing is required.

AMPERAGE DRAW

The 3 HP , 220V single phase motor on the 80-250 M1 will draw 15 Amps.
GROUNDING
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must be pro-
perly connected to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly
installed and grounded. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes
and ordinances.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of an extension cord is not recommended on 220V equipment. It is preferable to arrange the
placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords in the
shop. If you find the use of an extension cord to be necessary:
• Consult a qualified electrician before proceeding, making sure the cord contains the grounding
wire and matching plug.
ELECTROCUTION, FIRE OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE COULD RESULT IF THIS MACHINE IS NOT GROUNDED CORREC-
TLY OR IF YOUR ELECTRICAL CONFIGURATION DOES NOT COMPLY WITH LOCAL MUNICIPAL AND STATE OR PRO-
VINCIAL CODES AND REGULATIONS. ENSURE COMPLIANCE BY CONSULTING WITH A LICENSED AND QUALIFIED
