POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate
electrical
circuit should
be used for your machines.
This circuit should
not be less than #12 wire and should
be
protected
with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension
cord is used, use only 3-wire extension
cords which
have 3-prong
grounding
type plugs and matching
receptacle
which will accept
the machine's
plug. Before connecting
the machine
to the
power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the "OFF" position
and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics
as indicated
on the machine.
All line connections
should
make good
contact.
Running
on low voltage
will damage
the
machine.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine
is wired for 120 volts,
60 HZ alternating
current.
Before
connecting
the machine
to the power
source,
make sure the switch
is in the "OFF"
position.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
THIS
MACHINE
MUST
BE GROUNDED
WHILE
IN USE TO PROTECT
THE OPERATOR
FROM
ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
1. All grounded,
cord-connected
machines:
In the event
of a malfunction
or breakdown,
grounding
provides
a path of least resistance
for electric
current
to
reduce the risk of electric
shock. This machine is equipped
with
an electric
cord
having
an equipment-grounding
conductor
and a grounding
plug. 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 the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper
connection
of the equipment-grounding
conduc-
tor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor
with
insulation
having
an outer
surface
that
is green
with
or
without
yellow
stripes
is
the
equipment-grounding
conductor.
If repair or replacement
of the electric
cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment-grounding
conductor
to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified
electrician
or service personnel
if the
grounding
instructions
are not completely
understood,
or if
in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding
type
plugs
and
matching
3-conductor
receptacles
that
accept the machine's
plug, as shown in Fig. A.
Repair or replace damaged
or worn cord immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected
machines intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less
than 150 volts:
If the machine
is intended
for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated
in Fig. A, the machine
will have a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Fig. A. A temporary
adapter,
which looks like the adapter
illustrated
in Fig. B, may be used to connect
this plug to a
matching
2-conductor
receptacle
as shown
in Fig. B 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
rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending
from the adapter must
be connected
to a permanent
ground
such as a properly
grounded
outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must
be held in place with a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada,
the use of a temporary
adapter
is not
permitted
by the Canadian
Electric Code.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE
RECEPTACLE
IN
QUESTION
IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
IF YOU ARE NOT
SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN
CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
