• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a
properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-
type receptacle, as shown (see Figure 6).

• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the termi-
nals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug
provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
•
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
•
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the elec-
tric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
•
A 2-prong wall receptacle must be replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Any receptacle replacement should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 7) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.

• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and
ordinances. (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
is not permitted in Canada.)
Where a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is
permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side
of the adapter must be securety connected to a
permanent electrical ground such as a properly
grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box
or a properly grounded wire system.
•
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet
boxes are not properly grounded. To ensure proper
ground, grounding means must be tested by a quali-
fied electrician.
EXTENSION
CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• The minimum extension cord wire size is A.W.G. 14.
Do not use extension cords over 25 feet long.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
•
If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.

Motor
The motor is assembled with an approved three con-
ductor cord to be used on 120 volts as indicated. The
power supply to the motor is controlled by a double
pole locking switch.
The power lines are connected directly to the switch.
The green ground line must remain securely fastened
to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
A manual reset overload protector is installed in line
with the power suppry to the motor. If the planer is over-
loaded, the protector will break the circuit.
