ELECTRICAL

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This product is powered by a precision-built electric motor. It

should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only

(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this

product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop

will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If

the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,

double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of this product is approximately 3,600

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 products.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. 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 product 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.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,

have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the grounding plug can result in a

risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the

cord is required, do not connect the grounding wire to

either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having

an outer surface that is green with or without yellow

stripes is the grounding wire.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if

the grounding instructions are not completely understood,

or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has

a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 1,

page 13. Only connect the product to an outlet having the

same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with

this product.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding

plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the product’s plug.

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from

the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to

carry the current that the product will draw. An undersized

extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in

a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the

chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size

required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords

listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

When working with the product outdoors, use an extension

cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the

letters “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or

exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

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 serious personal

injury.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged

replace immediately. Never use the product with a

damaged cord since touching the damaged area could

cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
