SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

The Model H2801 is wired for 110V operation.
The motor will safely draw 5 amps at 110V. If you
operate this machine on any circuit that is already
close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a
circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does
not exist and the circuit still trips, contact a quali-
fied electrician or our service department.
A 10 amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used
when fusing this jointer. Circuit breakers rated
any higher may not be adequate to protect the cir-
cuit from power surges.

Extension Cords

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model H2801, make sure the cord is
rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to
the chart in the standard safety instructions to
determine the minimum gauge for the extension
cord. The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or
replace extension cords when they become worn
or damaged.

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
electric current a path of least resistance. This
tool is equipped with a power cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor. See Figure 1.
The outlet must be properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.

This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug
grounded. Under no cir-
cumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
