PLUGS/RECEPTACLES
• Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is
not grounded properly or if the electrical configura-
tion 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 120 volt,
alternating current, 60 hertz, single phase motor. It is
shipped wired for 120 volt application. Never connect
the green or ground wire to a live terminal.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
electrical receptacle as shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1
shows a NEMA approved 3-wire, 15 amp electrical plug
and receptacle that have a grounding conductor. If a
properly grounded electrical receptacle is not available,
an adapter as shown in Figure 1-2 can be used to tem-
porarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded
receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it
that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground,
such as a properly grounded receptacle box. THIS
ADAPTER IS PROHIBITED IN CANADA.
This machine MUST BE GROUNDED while in use to
protect the operator from electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, GROUND-
ING provides the path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This
machine is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
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 all of OSHA
mandates.

ductor 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.
