WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electrical hazards, fire hazards or
damage to the tool, use proper
circuit protection. Your machine
is wired at the factory for opera-
tion using the voltage shown
above. Connect tool to a power
line with the appropriate voltage
and a 15-amp branch circuit. Use
a 15-amp time delay type fuse or
circuit breaker. To reduce the risk
of shock or fire, if power cord is
worn or cut, or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.

Electrical Connections

NOTE: The plug supplied on your tool
may not fit into the outlet you are planning
to use. Your local electrical code may
require slightly different power cord plug
connections. If these differences exist
refer to and make the proper adjustments
per your local code before your tool is
plugged in and turned on.
In the event of a malfunction or break-
down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug, as shown. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary adapter may be used to con-
nect this plug to a 2-pole outlet, as shown,
if a properly grounded outlet is not avail-
able. This temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician.
