Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must be made by a
qualified electrician in compliance with all
relevant codes. The machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fatal injury.
A power plug is
not
provided with the
JWP-16OS planer. You may either connect a
plug or "hard-wire" the machine directly to your
electrical panel provided there is a disconnect
near the machine. Consult the wiring diagrams
at the end of this manual.
This machine must be grounded. Grounding
provides a path of least resistance to help divert
current away from the operator in case of
electrical malfunction.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply
matches the specifications on the motor plate of
the machine.
Extension Cords
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended for this machine, but if one is
necessary make sure the cord rating is suitable
for the amperage listed on the machine's motor
plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
The chart in Figure 7 shows the correct size
cord to use based on cord length and motor
plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge numbers
the heavier the cord.
