-8- 18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws
Under no circumstances should the grounding
blade from any plug be removed. If it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Repair or replace damaged
or worn cords immediately.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if you are in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only extension cords that have grounding
type plugs and receptacles that accept the plug
on the machine
.
Grounding
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 not supplied with an electric
cord. A cord with a plug with a grounding pin must
be wired into the junction box on the back of the
machine. Also needed is a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
We have covered some basic electrical
requirements for the safe operation of your
bandsaw. These requirements are not nec-
essarily comprehensive. You must be sure
that your particular electrical configuration
complies with local and state codes. Ensure
compliance by checking with your local
municipality or a licensed electrician.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually
grounded. Under no cir-
cumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
We do not recommend the use of extension
cords on 220V or 440V equipment. It is much bet-
ter to arrange the placement of your equipment
and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for
extension cords. Should it be necessary to use
an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard
Service (Grade S) or better. Refer to the chart on
page 3 to determine the minimum gauge for the
extension cord. The extension cord must also
contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair
or replace extension cords when they become
worn or damaged.
