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 Stock Feeder 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
tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug similar to the one shown in
Figure 6. The plug must be plugged 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.
115 Volt Operation
As received from the factory, your Stock Feeder
is ready to run at 115 volt operation. It is
intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug that looks similar to the one
illustrated in Figure 6.
A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter as illustrated in Figure 7, may be used
to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as
shown in Figure 7, if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adapter should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. This
adapter is not applicable in Canada.
