THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in Fig. A. Make sure the machine is
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with
this machine. If the machine must be re-connected for
use on a different type of electric circuit, the re-
connection should be made by qualified service
personnel; and after re-connection, the machine should
comply with all local codes and ordinances.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is
not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE
A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines:
FOR SINGLE PHASE UNITS (EXCEPT THE FIVE HORSEPOWER): This circuit should not be less than #12 wire
and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse.
FOR FIVE HORSEPOWER, SINGLE PHASE UNITS: The circuit should not be less than #10 wire and should be protected
with a 40 Amp time lag fuse.
FOR PERMANENTLY CONNECTED MACHINES: See No. 3 in “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.”
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 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. (See
“THREE PHASE OPERATION” and “LVC MAGNETIC MOTOR CONTROL” sections for more information on power
connections.)
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

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.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor
receptacles that accept the machine’s plug. Repair or
replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
