ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this product on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
If the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
dRIP LOOP
(See Figure 1.)
To prevent water from flowing along the power cable, and possibly reaching the electrical outlet and
plug, we recommend using a simple drip loop as shown below.
W A R N I N G
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result
in serious personal injury.
GROUNd FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which guards against the hazards
of ground fault currents. An example of ground fault current is the current that would flow through a
person who is using an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with an
electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
GFCI plugs do not protect against short circuits, overloads, or shocks.
W A R N I N G
The GFCI plug can be tested with the TEST and RESET buttons.
● Plug into receptacle.
● Press the TEST button. You will hear a "click" sound and the red LED light will go out.
● Press the RESET button. The LED light will illuminate to indicate power has been restored.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the GFCI.
To reduce the risk of electric shock the supervisory circuit must be operated before an appliance is
plugged into any receptacle on the device.
