Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro-
vides electric current a path of least resistance to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor. The plug must be
plugged into 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.
Should it be necessary to use an extension cord,
make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade
S) or better. Refer to the chart on page 3 to deter-
mine the minimum gauge for the extension cord.
The extension cord must also contain a ground
wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-
sion cords when they become worn or damaged.
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange
the placement of your equipment and the installed
wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.
Extension Cords
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.
