MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
To reduce the risk of electrical hazards, fire
hazards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection.
Your tool is wired at the factory for operation using the voltage
shown. Connect tool to a power line with the appropriate
voltage and a 15-amp branch circuit. To reduce the risk of shock
or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply
circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch (A). The tool has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch (A).
A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
Sketches (B) and (C), may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch (B) if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. (This adapter is not permitted in Canada)
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box.

INFORMATION
NOTE: The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the outlet
you are planning to use. Your local electrical code may require
slightly different power cord plug connections. If these differences
exist refer to and make the proper adjustments per your local
code before your tool is plugged in and turned on.
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 and a grounding plug, as
shown. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
The A-C motor used on this tool is a relay start motor, having
the following specifications:
It is wired at the factory for operation on 110-120V AC, 60 Hz.

DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
could result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment 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.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
If not properly grounded, this tool can cause
an electrical shock, particularly when used in damp locations, in
proximity to plumbing, or out of doors. If there is an electrical
shock there is potential of a secondary hazard, such as your
hands contacting the sanding belt/spindle.
