ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS TOOL REQUIRES THE
INSTALLATION OF A 220V PLUG (NOT INCLUDED),
AND MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO
PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and requires a grounding plug (not
included). The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY ANY PLUG. If it will not fit the electrical
receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded when installing or replacing a plug.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a 220
volt electrical receptacle. FIGURE 1 shows the type of the
220V, 4-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that
has a grounding conductor that is required.
Samples of 220 volt plugs required for this machine.
Consult a qualified electrician if the distance of the
machine to the electrical panel is greater than 30 feet.

EXTENSION CORDS
WITH THIS MACHINE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. FOR
BEST POWER AND SAFETY, PLUG THE MACHINE
DIRECTLY INTO A DEDICATED GROUNDED ELECTRI-
CAL OUTLET THAT IS WITHIN THE SUPPLIED CORD
LENGTH OF THE MACHINE.
IF AN EXTENSION CORD NEEDS TO BE USED, IT
SHOULD ONLY BE FOR LIMITED OPERATION OF THE
MACHINE. THE EXTENSION CORD SHOULD BE AS
SHORT AS POSSIBLE IN LENGTH, AND HAVE A
MINIMUM GAUGE SIZE OF 14AWG.
USE ONLY A 4-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
THE PROPER TYPE OF A 4-PRONG GROUNDING
PLUG THAT MATCHES THE MACHINE'S 4-PRONG
PLUG AND ALSO THE 4-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT
ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG. *
Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use a tool
with a damaged cord, since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious
injury.
Use a proper extension cord. Only use cords listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power
and overheating of tool. When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or
"W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
of the working area. Position the cord so that it will
not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to
be certified SJT type or better.
** The use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.
