CONNECTING PLATE JOINER TO POWER SOURCE
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should
be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have
3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tools plug. For distances up to 100 feet use
#12 wire. For distances up to 150 feet use #10 wire. Have a certified electrician replace or repair damaged or worn
cord immediately. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and
be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on motor nameplate. All line connections
should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro¬
vides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conduc¬
tor 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 con¬
ductor 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 con¬
ductor. 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 tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground¬
ing type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool’s
plug, as shown in Fig. 19.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. 19. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated
in Fig. 20, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle, as shown in Fig. 20, 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. THIS ADAPTER IS NOT
APPLICABLE IN CANADA. The green-colored rigid ear,
lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be con¬
nected to a permanent ground, such as properly grounded
outlet box, as shown in Fig. 20.
CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RE¬
CEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A CERTIFIED ELEC¬
TRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE,
