CAUTION: This machine will operate only on
AC frequency and on electrical
voltage shown on the equipment
nameplate. Make sure you have
the correct frequency and voltage
before connecting the power cord
to an outlet. See the example in
figure 1.
This machine must be connected to an electrical
source with an earthing conductor in order to protect
the operator from electric shock. This machine has
an approved power cord with three conductors as well
as a plug with three terminals. Connect the plug to a
matching receptacle.
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if the
machine is exposed to water or
rain. Keep the machine in a dry
building.
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if ma-
chine is not connected to an electri-
cal source with an earthing conduc-
tor. To prevent possible electric
shock, use an electrical cord with
an earthing conductor and connect
it to a matching electrical source.
For maximum protection against
electrical shock, use a circuit that is
protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter. Consult your electrical
contractor.
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if the
machine is used with a damaged
plug or power cord. If the cords
or plugs are worn or damaged in
any way, have them replaced by
an authorized service person or
electrician.
Extension Cords
Use only an approved three-pronged extension cord with
two main conductors and one earthing conductor. This
machine is equipped with a power cord. When greater
range is needed follow the table below to determine
cable gauge of additional footage. Refer to the chart
to the right for extension cord information.
If motor appears to labor or takes a considerable longer
time to come up to speed reduce sanding pressure.
