G0555 14" Ultimate Bandsaw -7-
Grounding
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides electric current a path of least
resistance to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment grounding conductor. Improper
connections of the electrical-grounding conductor
can result in the risk of electric shock. The con-
ductor 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.
If you find it necessary to use an extension
cord with this machine:
• Only use a cord that is rated for hard service
(Grade S).
• Only use a cord that contains a grounding
prong.
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50
feet long or less.
• Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is
between 50-100 feet.
• Always repair or replace cords when they
become worn or damaged.
Extension Cords
This machine must have a ground prong in
