ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

WARNING: To avoid electrocution, do not use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if

absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Make sure your extension cord is 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. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The

smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. Consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the extension cord is

properly sized for safe operation.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord

or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive

heat and damp/wet areas.

POWER SUPPLY PREPARATION

Before installing the machine, check the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. This dust

collector has a rated amperage of 16A, but the starting amperage may spike up to 80A for a short moment. The tool

Fig. A

has a built-in 25A overload protector to protect the motor. To prevent

tripping your electrical circuit, the fuse rating of your circuit must be

HIGHER than 25A. The power plug should be plugged into a match-

ing NEMA 5-20R outlet as shown in Fig. A, with a fuse rating higher

than 25A.

Only one machine should be connected to a dedicated circuit. Always

check local code for wiring outlets that are 25 amps and above. Consult

an experienced electrician for details.

If your existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine,

a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,

fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must

be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

Before connecting the tool 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current

and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has 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.

CAUTION: No adapter should be used with the required plug. If the plug does not fit the available

receptacle, or the machine must be reconnected for use on a different type of circuit, the reconnection

must be made by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and ordinances.
