ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING: YOUR JOINTER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 110V-120V,
15-AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN
RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
GROUNDING
This Jointer 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 Jointer is 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.
Your Jointer must be properly grounded. 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: TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR JOINTER,
DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY
MANNER.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS JOINTER 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.
110V-120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your Jointer is ready to run for 110V-120V
operation. This Jointer is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and
a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
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
chart in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire
Gauge) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have
3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles 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
Jointer motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
SAFETY SWITCH
This machine is supplied with a safety switch (A) Fig.3 equipped with a
removable safety key (B). To turn the machine ON make sure the yellow
safety key is inserted and pull the switch up, to the ON position. To turn the
machine OFF push the switch to the OFF position. To prevent unauthorized
use of your machine remove the safety key and store it in a secure location.
