into the dust container as far as necessary in order to
secure the power cord. The proper location is
approximately one and one eighth inches/thirty millimeters
(1 1/8”/30 mm) of new power cord outer jacket extending
past the cord retainer. Attach wires with wire connectors
according to the wiring diagram in the front of this manual.
2. For switch replacement only, insert the new ON/OFF switch
facing toward you, into the dust container until secured by
the retaining tabs. Use a wire tie in the location illustrated
taking care not to overtighten it. Tuck the wire connectors
back into the dust container as illustrated in the close-up
view.
3. Ensure that the insulator packing is installed correctly.
4. Replace the switch cover, the two (2) switch cover screws,
and the dust cover. Care should be taken not to pinch wires
and make sure that the switch cover goes on easily and
stays flat. If there is resistance to the switch cover lying flat
and in place, stop, remove the cover and make sure that no
wires are being pinched. DO NOT USE A POWER
SCREWDRIVER TO SECURE THE COVER.
NOTE: For general servicing, it is necessary to eliminate
pinching of any wire during reassembly. After servicing
any electrical component or electrical enclosure, the unit
should be reassembled and checked for dielectric
breakdown or current leakage.
