Grounding & Plug Requirements
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current.

For 110V operation: This machine is equipped with a
power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and a
grounding plug (similar to the figure on the right). The
plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
For 220V operation: The plug specified under “Circuit
Requirements for 220V” on the previous page has a
grounding prong that must be attached to the equipment-
grounding wire inside the included power cord. The plug
must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (similar
to the figure on the right) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

Serious injury could occur if you con-
nect the machine to power before
completing the setup process. DO
NOT connect to power until instructed
later in this manual.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire
can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with
green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of
the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying)
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this
machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if
absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage
electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage
drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer
and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers
indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size ................................. 12 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.
Voltage Conversion
The voltage conversion MUST be performed
by a qualified electrician. To perform the
voltage conversion, install the correct plug
and rewire the motor to the new voltage,
according to the provided wiring diagram.
If the diagram included on the motor
conflicts with the one in this manual, the
motor may have changed since the manual
was printed. Use the diagram provided on
the motor.
