8.0 Electrical connections
All electrical connections must
be done by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all local codes and ordinances. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury.
The PM-2X2R Router is rated at 115V power. The
router comes with a plug designed for use on a
circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like the one
pictured in A, Figure 8-1. It is recommended that the
PM-2X2R router be connected to a dedicated 15-
amp circuit with circuit breaker or time-delay fuse
marked “D”. Local codes take precedence over
recommendations.
The PM-2X4SP Router is rated at 220V power. The
router comes with a plug designed for use on a
circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like the one
pictured in D, Figure 8-1. It is recommended that the
PM-2X4SP router be connected to a dedicated 10-
amp circuit with circuit breaker or time-delay fuse
marked “D”. Local codes take precedence over
recommendations.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
8.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
This machine must be grounded. 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 tool 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 a 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 tool is properly grounded. Failure to
comply may cause serious or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
