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 a 3-pole

recept acle which will accept the tool s plug. When using

an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to

carry the current of the jointer . An undersized cord will

cause a drop in line volt age, resulting in loss of power

and overheating. Fig. 20 shows the correct gage to use

depending on cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavie r

gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord .

CONNECTING JOINTER TO POWERSOURCE

POWERCONNECTIONS

A sep arate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be

protected with a 20 Amp fuse. Have a certified electrician replace or rep air a worn cord immediately.Before connecting

the motor to a power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and be sure that the electric current is of the

same characteristics as st amped on the motor nameplate. Running on low volt age will damage the motor.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an out -

let and a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. 21.

A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illus -

trated in Fig. 22, may be used to connect this plug to a

2-pole recept acle, as shown in Fig. 22, if a properly

grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter

should be used only until a propery grounded outlet can

inst alled by a qualified electrician. THIS ADAPTER IS

NOT APPLICABLE IN CANADA. 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, as shown in Fig. 22.

CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEP-

TACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.

IF Y O U ARE NOT SURE, HAV E A CERTIFIED ELEC-

TRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a p ath of least resist ance for electric current to

reduce the risk of electric shock. The motor 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 inst alled

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 inst alled by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conduc -

tor 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 conduc -

tor. If rep air or replacement of the electric cord or plug is

necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding con -

ductor 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 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong

grounding type plugs and 3-hole recept acles that accept

the tool s plug, as shown in Fig. 21.

R e p air or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
