volt plug attached to the switch with a UL/CSA
listed plug suitable for 220 volts. The jointer
with a 220 volt plug should only be connected
to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. No adapter is available or should be
used with the 220 volt plug. Once the modi-
fication to has been made to the plug of the
switch, be sure to follow the instructions under
CHANGING MOTOR VOLTAGE for changing the
motor voltage from 120 volt to 220 volt in the
ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This machine MUST BE GROUND-
ED while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
GROUNDING provides the path of least resis-
tance for electric current and reduces the risk
of electric shock. The plug MUST be plugged
into a matching electrical receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with ALL local codes and ordinances.
If a plug is provided with your machine DO
NOT modify the plug. If it will not fit your
electrical receptacle, have a qualified electri-
cian install the proper connections to meet all
electrical codes local and state. All connections
must also adhere to all of OSHA mandates.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in risk of electric shock. The conductor with
the green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor.
DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replace-
ment of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if you do not completely understand
the grounding instructions, or if you are not
sure the tool is properly grounded.
PLUGS/RECEPTACLES
WARNING: Electrocution or fire could result
if this machine is not grounded properly or if
the electrical configuration does not comply
with local and state electrical codes.
• MAKE CERTAIN the machine is disconnected
from power source before starting any electri-
cal work.
E N G L I S H •
• MAKE SURE the circuit breaker does not ex-
ceed the rating of the plug and receptacle.
The motor supplied with your machine is a
120/220 volt, 60 hertz, single phase motor.
Never connect the green or ground wire to a
live terminal. A machine with a 120/220 volt
plug should only be connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug.
EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or elec-
trical shock, use the proper gauge of extension
cord. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your machine will draw.
The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the
diameter of the extension cord is. If in doubt
of the proper size of an extension cord, use a
shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a
loss of power and overheating.
CAUTION: USE ONLY a 3-wire extension
cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug and
a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the machine's
plug.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be
sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W"
in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for
outdoor use.
Make certain the extension cord is properly
sized, and in good electrical condition. Always
replace a worn or damaged extension cord im-
mediately or have it repaired by a qualified
person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp ob-
jects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
The table below shows the correct size to use,
depending on cord length and nameplate am-
perage rating of tools. In case of doubt use
the next heavier gauge. Always use UL listed
extension cords.
