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 with an
equipment grounding conductor. Improper con-
nections 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.
DO NOT use the machine
if it is not grounded.
Electrocution or fire may
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly.
Verify that any existing
electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is
actually grounded.
Your Shop Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu-
larly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, refer to the
troubleshooting section in this manual or contact
a qualified electrician or our service department.
