motor specifications and electrical
requirements
This power toot is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and grounding type plug which has a grounding prong,
approved by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Cana-
dian Standards Association. The ground conductor has
a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at
one end and to the ground prong in the attachment
plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
ff the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool
is of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an
adapter as shown below and always connect the
grounding lug to known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded
THREE prong outlet.
An adapter as illustrated is available for connecting
plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding tug
extending from the adapter must be connected to a per-
manent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet
box.
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you al-
ready have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.
Adapter is not allowed in Canada by the Canadian Elec-
trical Code.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to de-
termine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which ac-
cept the tools plug.
