Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
This machine 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 dovetailer
is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug similar to the one illustrated in
Figure 8. The plug must be inserted 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipment-
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.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only
three wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specifications on the motor plate of
the machine.
115 Volt Operation
As received from the factory, your dovetailer is
ready to run at 115 volt operation. This
dovetailer, when wired for 115 volts, is intended
for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug
that look like the ones illustrated in Figure 8. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
as illustrated in Figure 9, may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as
shown in Figures 8 and 9, if a properly grounded
outlet is not available.
