ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
WARNING!
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE DUST COLLECTOR DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING:
YOUR DUST COLLECTOR MUST BE CONNECTED TO
A 110V, 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN
THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
GROUNDING
Your dust collector must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are
properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS DUST
COLLECTOR CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY
WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE,
IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY,
HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
If this dust collector should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This dust collector is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR DUST
COLLECTOR, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING
PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
110V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your dust collector is ready to run for
110V operation. This dust collector is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.8.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR FOR THEY
ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN CANADA.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the
following table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American
Wire Gauge) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which
accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire
size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage
to the dust collector motor. Refer to Fig.9 for wire length and size.

ON/OFF SWITCH
On the motor you will find the switch box. The ON/OFF switch
has the ability to be turned ‘’ON’’ when the
Red Key
is
properly installed. Switch to the ‘’ON’’ position by moving the
switch upward. To put the switch in the ‘’OFF’’ position, move
the switch downward. Remove the
Key
from the switch when-
ever the dust collector is turned ‘’OFF’’. Place the
Starter Key
in a safe place out of reach of children.
