IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION-Electrical
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less
than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 A time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used,
use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching
receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the machine 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 indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good
contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120 V, 60 Hz alternating current. Before connecting the
machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
DANGER!
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN
DAMP LOCATIONS.
THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT
THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

MPORTANT INFORMATION
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-pronged 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.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION
IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition
and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-pronged 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. The table 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.
