32. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power tools (i.e. a safety video) is available from the Power
Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115-2851 (www.powertool institute.com). Information is also available from the
National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please refer to the American National Standards Institute ANSI
01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines and the U.S. Department of Labor regulations.

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be
protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine's plug. Before connecting the machine to the
power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the "OFF" position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics
as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
machine.
WARNING:
SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP
LOCATIONS.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
SHOCK HAZARD. THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
Your machine is wired for 120 Volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure
the switch is in the "OFF" position.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
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 machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
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 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
