WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position
the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in seri-
ous personal injury.
WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace
immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the dam-
aged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected
to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current).
Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will
cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the grinder does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 3560 rpm. This speed is not
constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the
wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line
intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is
heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line
that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
All grounded, cord-connected tools:
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 tool is equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor 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.
