BASIC ADJUSTMENTS & CONTROLS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK OR FIRE DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITH A DAMAGED POWER CORD OR PLUG. RE-
PLACE DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG IMMEDIATELY. TO AVOID UNEXPECTED OR UNINTENTIONAL START-UP , MAKE SURE
THE POWER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

Once the assembly steps have been completed, plug
the power cord into an appropriate outlet.
Refer back to the section entitled "Electrical Require-
ments" and make sure all requirements and grounding
instructions are followed.
When operations have been completed unplug the
machine from the power source.

MAGNETIC SAFETY SWITCH

This machine is equiped with a magnetic safety switch
designed to protect the the user from unintentional start-
up. The switch assembly is equipped with a GREEN "START"
button A and a RED spring loaded "STOP" button B.
Once the RED "STOP" button has been pressed, the ma-
chine can only be restarted by turning the inner part of
the button to the right to release the stop button, C.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The magnetic safety switch on this machine is equipped with an overload protection feature. To prevent an elec-
trical overload from damaging the motor, in the event of a spike in line voltage or amperage draw, the internal
overload protector will automatically be tripped, thereby cutting off power to the motor.
Common causes of such overloads:
Overworking the motor by forcing the machine, particularly with thicker denser material, thereby causing an
increase in power consumption and a spike in amperage draw.
An electrical extension cord that is too long or not the correct gauge of wire, which can also cause an in-
crease in amperage draw. If an electric extension cord must be used, follow the instructions and refer to the
chart in the electrical requirements section at the beginning of this manual.
Overworked circuit caused by operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. Make sure
thecircuit being used is capable of handling the amperage draw from this machine as well as any other elec-
trical devices operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
To reset the overload protection switch after it has been tripped proceed as follows:
1.
Unplug the machine. Open the motor door in the
back of the machine and remove electrical box
cover a Phillips screwdriver.
TO AVOID UNEXPECTED OR UNIN-
TENTIONAL START-UP , MAKE SURE
