GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! This machine MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUNDING provides the path of
least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug MUST be
plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
If a plug is provided with your machine DO NOT modify the plug. If it will not fit your electrical
receptacle, have a qualified electrician install the proper connections to meet all electrical codes
local and state. ALL connections must also adhere to NEC and OSHA mandates.
WARNING! IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
WARNING! Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded properly or if the
electrical configuration does not comply with local and state electrical codes.
MAKE CERTAIN the machine is disconnected from power source before starting any electrical
work.
MAKE SURE the circuit breaker does not exceed the rating of the plug and receptacle.
The motor supplied with your machine is a 115 volt, 60 hertz, single phase motor. Never connect
the green or ground wire to a live terminal. A machine with a 115 volt plug should only be
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, use the proper gauge of extension
cord. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
machine will draw.
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter of the extension cord is. If in doubt of the
proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating.
CAUTION! USE ONLY a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole
receptacle that accepts the machine’s plug. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it
is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
