Extension Cords - Delta 50-786 Manuel D'utilisation

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
2. grounded, cord-connected machines intended
for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less than 150 volts:
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B may be used to
connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle
as shown in Fig. B, if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and
the like, extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place with a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
SHOCK HAZARD. In all cases, make
certain that the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.
3. 240 volt single phase operation:
The motor supplied with your machine is a dual voltage,
120/240 volt motor. It is shipped ready-to-run for 120
volt operation. However, it can be converted for 240 volt
operation.
A qualified electrician should do the conversion, or the
machine can be taken to an Authorized DELTA Service
Center. When completed, the machine must conform
to the National Electric Code and all local codes and
ordinances.
The machine is converted by re-wiring the motor for 240
volts and installing a 240 volt plug on the power supply
cord.
Be sure the 240 volt plug is only used in an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug illustrated in Fig. C.
No adapter should be used with the 240 volt plug.
SHOCK HAZARD. In all cases, make
certain that the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type
plug and matching receptacle which will accept the
machine's plug. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the
machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig.
D-1 or D-2, shows the correct gauge to use depending
on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
