Instruction manual

4
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 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.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
Your machine is wired for either 120/240 volt single phase, or 200-230/460 volt three phase, 60 HZ alternating current.
Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

SINGLE PHASE
INSTALLATION
If the motor on your machine is wired for 115 Volt, Single
Phase, the power cord is equipped with a plug that has
two flat, parallel current-carrying prongs, and one longer
round or “U” shaped, ground prong which requires a
mating 3-conductor grounded type receptacle, as
shown in Fig. A.
If the motor on your machine is wired for 230 Volt, Single
Phase, the power cord is equipped with a plug that has
two flat, current-carrying prongs in tandem, and one
round or “U”-shaped longer ground prong. This is used
only with the proper mating 3-conductor grounding type
receptacle,as shown in Fig. B.
When either the 115 Volt or 230 Volt three prong plug on
your machine is plugged into a grounded 3-conductor
receptacle, the long ground prong on the plug contacts
first so the machine is properly grounded before elec-
tricity reaches it.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RE-
CEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A CERTIFIED ELECTRIC-
IAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
THREE PHASE
INSTALLATION
If the motor on your machine is wired for 200, 230 or 460
Volts, Three Phase, refer to the electrical instruction
manual supplied with your machine for instructions on
how to connect electrical power.
CHANGING VOLTAGE
The single phase 1-1/2 H.P. (push button switch only),
8" Jointer is supplied wired for 230 Volts. If you desire
to change the voltage on this unit it is necessary to
disconnect the machine from the power source,
reconnect the leads in the motor junction box, as
shown on the motor nameplate and change the plug to
a 115 Volt plug.
If you desire to change the voltage on either the single
or three phase, 1-1/2 H.P., 8" Jointer that is equipped
with 24 Volt push button station, magnetic starter,
transformer and 3-leg overload protection, refer to the
the “CHANGING VOLTAGE OF THE LVC MOTOR
STARTER” section in the electrical manual supplied
with your jointer. The following steps must be
completed:
