your Shop circuit capacity
always check to see if the wires in your circuit
are capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. if you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
figure 4. a power disconnect is preferable to
high current plugs and receptacles.
connection Type
Because of the high amperage draw from this
machine, we recommend that you hardwire it
directly to your circuit breaker and install a locking
shut-off lever (see
figure 4) near the machine
as a way to quickly disconnect the power and
prevent accidental starting. we do not recom-
mend using an extension cord with this machine.
in the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-
rent. this machine must be equipped with an
electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor. this conductor must be grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor increases the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if you do not understand
the grounding instructions, or if you doubt the
machine is properly grounded.
Grounding
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly
or if your electrical con-
figuration does not com-
ply with local and state
codes. Ensure compliance
by checking with a quali-
fied electrician!
Because of the high amperage draw from this
machine, we do not recommend the use of exten-
sion cords. instead, position your equipment near
installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten-
sion cords.
Extension cords
when using a phase converter, the power from
the manufactured power leg (sometimes called
the wild wire) can fluxuate. Connect the manu-
factured power leg to the s terminal to prevent
damage to the transformer. the wire from the s
terminal can handle some fluxuation because it
goes directly to the motor. the power going to the
r and t terminals goes to the transformer and
must be consistent to prevent damage.
