Electrical Connections; On/Off Switch; Extension Cords - Craftsman 351.219061 Operator's Manual

WARNING: Any receptacle replacement should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
(See Figure 13) is available for connecting plugs to a
two pole outlet if it is properly grounded.
Make Sure This
Grounding Lug _ Is Connected
To A Known
3-Prong Plug Ground
2-Prong Receptacle
Figure 13 - 2-Prong Receptacle with Adapter
• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and
ordinances. (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
is not permitted in Canada.)
Where a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is
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 properly
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 quali-
fied electrician.
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-prong
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 it immediately.

Figure 14 - On-Off Switch
WARNING: Be sure the switch is in OFF position and
the cord is unplugged from the power source before
removing switch key.
The motor is assembled with an approved three con-
ductor cord to be used on 120 volts as indicated. The
power supply to the motor is controlled by a double
pole locking rocker switch.

The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch.
The green ground line must remain securely fastened
to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
DESCRIPTION
The Craftsman hollow chisel mortiser is a heaw duty,
portable, machine designed to produce mortises up to
_/2"wide in hardwoods and 3/4"wide in softwoods. Slow
feeds and patience allow the user to create 3/4"wide
mortises in most hardwoods. The Craftsman mortiser is
powered by a 120 volt, 4.0 amps, 60 Hz electric motor.
The mortiser uses hollow chisel mortising tools. While
the Craftsman mortiser is designed for portability, it
should never be used without secure fastening to a
solid bench or other surface to prevent tipping.
