ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
Power Source
A seperate
electrical
circuit should be used for your tool. This circuit should not be less than #12
wire and should be protected with a 20 amp time lag fuse. Before connecting
the motor to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position
and be sure the electric current is of the same
characteristics
as indicated
on the tool. All line connections
should make good contact.
Running
on
low voltage will damage the motor.
Extension
Cords
Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition
and is a 12 guage, 3-wire extension
cord which
has a 3-prong
grounding
type plug and matching
receptacle
which will accept the tool's plug. When
using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the tool. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Extension
cords should be no longer than 100 ft.

WARNING:
DO NOT EXPOSE
THE TOOL TO RAIN OR OPERATE
IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
Grounding
Instructions
_)
ARNING:
THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED
WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT
THE
OPERATOR
FROM ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown,
grounding
provides a path of least resistance
for electric
shock. This tool 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
conductor
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 tool is properly
grounded.
Figure. 1
Grounded,
cord-connected
tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less than 150 volts will have a grounding
plug
similar to illustration.

WARNING: INALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
