clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewel-
ry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
4. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS ENVI-
RONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or wet loca-
tions or in rain can cause shock orelectrocution. Keep your
work area well-lit to prevent tripping or placing arms,
hands, and fingers in danger.
5. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES IN PEAK
CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces-
sories. Poorly maintained tools and machines can further damage
the tool or machine and/or cause injury.
6. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the machine,
check for any damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or any other part that is damaged should be prop-
erly repaired or replaced. Damaged parts can cause fur-
ther damage to the machine and/or injury.
7. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Your shop is a poten-
tially dangerous environment. Children and visitors can be injured.
9. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plug-
ging in the power cord. In the event of a power failure,
move the switch to the “OFF” position. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in
place, secured, and working correctly to reduce the risk of

DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES,
INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST
AND ASBESTOS DUST. Direct particles away from face and
body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide
for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherev-
er possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and per-
manent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious
lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust,
and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get
into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and
water.

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 THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
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
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 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.
POWER CONNECTIONS
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120 Volt, 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.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type
plug and matching receptacle which will accept the
machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the
machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig.
D-1 shows the correct gauge to use depending on the
cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
