ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a 8 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
! WARNING This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig.
