7.2 Voltage conversion
To switch the incoming power leads for 230 volt
operation, follow the wiring diagram on the inside
cover of motor junction box. To access junction
box, remove filters and cover (part #1, section
10.1.1).
The plug on the end of the motor cord must be
replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug rated for 240V.
7.3 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged. Try to
place equipment within reach of the power source.
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure it is in
good condition and heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.

8.0 Operation
8.1 Control switch
Refer to Figure 3.
The green pilot lamp (A) will be illuminated
whenever there is power connected to the dust
collector, not just when the machine is running. Do
not assume that no light means there is no power
to the machine. If the bulb is bad, there will be no
indication. Always check before use.
Pull out on switch (B) to start machine. Push switch
in to stop.
The safety key (C) prevents unauthorized use of
the machine. Remove this key to deactivate the
switch; insert it to restart.
