POWER
SOURCE
The motor Is designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified, Normal loads will be handled safe-
ly on voltages not more than 10% above or below the
specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the
range may cause overheating and motor burn.out.
Heavy loads require that the voltage at motor terminals
be no less than the voltage specified. Power supply to
the motor is contmllod by a double pole locking rocker
switch. Remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while In use to
protect operator from electrical shook,
Check with e qualified electrician if grounding instruc-
tions are not understood or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded,
This tool is equipped with an approved 3 conductor
cord rated at 150V and a three prong grounding type
plug for your protection against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a prop-
edy installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type
receptacle, as shown (Figure 2).

Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terrnl-
nals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is prop-
erly Installed and grounded In accordance
with all local
codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it
will notfit in ou'dat, have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and If damaged, have
them repaired by an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in card is the
grounding wire. tf repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necassa_J, do not connect the green (or
green and yellow) wire to a live terminal
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with National Electric
Code and loca] codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a quali-
fied elestrlc]an.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 3) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if It Is properly grounded,

Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and ordl-
nancas. (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter Is not
psrrnitted in Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green
tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must be
securely connected to a permanent electrical ground
such as a propedy grounded water pipe, a properly
grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes
are not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground,
grounding means must be tested by a qualified electri-
cian.
EXTENSION
CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
In voltage and loss of power.
•
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-preng
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace immediately.
