  Levelers 

Check the planer for level by placing a bubble level 
on main table. If adjustment is needed, rotate any of 
the four leveling pads beneath the cabinet corners. 
Tighten  the  hex  nuts  up  against  the  cabinet  to 
secure the setting. 

6.0

  Electrical connections 

The  JWP-15B  and  JWP-15BHH  are  prewired  for 
230V  power  only.  The  planer  comes  with  a  plug 
designed for use on a circuit with a 

grounded outlet 

that looks like the one pictured in Figure 6-1. 

Before connecting to power source, be sure switch 
is in 

off 

position.  

It is recommended that the planer be connected to 
a  dedicated  15  amp  circuit  with  circuit  breaker  or 
time-delay  fuse  marked  “D”. 

Local  codes  take 

precedence over recommendations. 

6.1

  GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 

1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools: 

In  the  event  of  a  malfunction  or  breakdown, 
grounding  provides  a  path  of  least  resistance  for 
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. 
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having 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. 

Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the 
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified 
electrician. 

Improper  connection  of  the  equipment-grounding 
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The 
conductor  with  insulation  having  an  outer  surface 
that  is  green  with  or  without  yellow  stripes  is  the 
equipment-grounding  conductor.  If  repair  or 
replacement  of  the  electric  cord  or  plug  is 
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding 
conductor to a live terminal. 

  Check  with  a  qualified 

electrician or service pe

r

sonnel if the grounding 

instructions are not completely understood, or if 
in  doubt  as  to  whether  the  tool  is  properly 
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious 
or fatal injury.

 

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong 
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept 
the tool's plug. 

Repair  or  replace  damaged  or  worn  cord 
immediately. 

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use 
on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 

150 - 250 volts

, inclusive: 

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an 
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 6-
1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the 
plug illustrated in Figure 6-1. Make sure the tool is 
connected  to  an  outlet  having  the  same 
configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or 
should  be  used  with  this  tool.  If  the  tool  must  be 
reconnected  for  use  on  a  different  type  of  electric 
circuit,  the  reconnection  should  be  made  by 
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, 
the  tool  should  comply  with  all  local  codes  and 
ordinances. 

 

Figure 6-1 

6.2

  Extension cords 

The  use  of  extension  cords  is  discouraged;  try  to 
position  equipment  within  reach  of  the  power 
source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, be 
sure  it  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.  

Table 2 shows recommended 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.
