MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS & ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
MOTOR
The 12 1/2" thickness planer is supplied with a motor and
with the wiring installed.
The 120 Volt AC universal motor has the following
specifications:
Max. Developed Horsepower ................... 2
Voltage ................................... 120
Amperes .................................. 14
Hertz ..................................... 60
Phase .................................. Single
RPM .................................... 8000
POWER SOURCE
1. The motor is designed for operation on the voltage
and frequency specified above.
2. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the specified volt-
age.
3. Running the unit on voltages which are not within
the range may cause overheating and motor burn-
out.
4. Heaw loads require the voltage at motor terminals
be not less than the voltage specified.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool is equipped with a three-conductor cord and
ground type plug which has a grounding prong, ap-
proved by Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian
Standards Association.
Do not remove or alter the grounding prong in any man-
ner.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown grounding
prov des a path of least resistance for electrical current
to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit in the out-
let, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of e_ectrical shock.
The conductor with insulation having a green outer sur-
face is the equipment-grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is
necessary, make sure the equipment-grounding con-
ductor is not connected to a line terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person-
nel if the grounding instructions are not understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
The tool has a three-prong plug, such as the one il-
lustrated.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit having a nominal
rating less than 150 volts which has an outlet that looks
like the outlet illustrated.
PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET
3-PRONG PLUG_I __ 1
GROUNDING PRONG
A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter il-
lustrated below, may be used to connect this plug to a
two-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not
available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician.
The green colored grounding lug extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground,
such as a properly grounded outlet box.

/ GROUNDING LUG
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you al-
ready have a properly grounded two-prong receptacle.
Adapter is not allowed in Canada by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
EXTENSION CORDS
1. The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in the voltage and loss of power.
2. The wires of the extension cord must be sufficient
in size to carry the current and maintain adequate
voltage.
3. Use the table below to determine the minimum wire
size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
4. Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole
receptacles which accept the tool plug.
5. If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Extension Cord Length Wire Size A,W.G.
Upto 50 ft .................................. 14
50 - 100 ff ................................... 10
NOTE: Using extension cords over 100 ft. long is not
recommended,
