GROUNDING continued...
WARNING:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR DUST
COLLECTOR, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG
IN ANY MANNER.
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.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the
charts in Fig.2A (120V) and Fig.2B (240V) to determine the minimum wire
size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only
3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and
3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
Note: The use of an extension cord is generally not recommended for
220V-240V operation. The chart in Fig.2B is supplied in case it is
absolutely needed to use an extension cord. If in doubt of the gauge of
extension cord to use, use the next gauge up (thicker cord).
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 charts in Fig.2A (120V) and Fig.2B (240V)
for wire length and size.
ON/OFF SWITCH
On the side of the motor is the switch box. The ON/OFF switch (A) Fig.3
has the ability to be turned ‘’ON’’ when the starter key (B) 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 whenever the dust collector is turned ‘’OFF’’. Place
the key in a safe place out of reach of children.
