OPERATION MANUAL
Place this machine near an existing power source. Make sure all power cords are protected
from traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure there is access
to a means of disconnecting the power source. The electrical circuit must meet the require-
ments for 240V. 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.
Note ! The use of an extension cord is not recommended as it may decrease the life of electrical
components on your machine.
NOTE:
Hafco/Woodmaster advise that extension leads should
not be used permanently, but recommend that the plug be placed directly in to a wall socket.

Electrical Requirements
Nominal
Voltage..........................................
240V
Cycle................................................................
50
Hz
Phase...............................................
Single-Phase
Power Supply Circuit........................... 10 Amps
Full Load Current................................. 3.3 Amps
(Full load current rating is also on the specification plate on the motor.)
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at when running at 100% of the
output power. Where machines have more than one motor, the full load current is the amper-
age drawn by the largest motor or a total of all the motors and electrical devices that might
operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 240V...... 2.6 - 3.6 Amps
It should be noted that the full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the ma-
chine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load
rating and if the machine is overloaded for a long period of time, damage, overheating, or fire
may be caused to the motor and circuitry.
This is especially true if connected to an undersized circuit or a long extension lead. To reduce
the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is
connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements.
