POWER SOURCE 

     WARNING

Do not connect dust collector to the power source until all 
assembly steps have been completed. 
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and 
frequency specified. Normal loads will be handled safely 
on voltages not more than 10% above or below specified 
voltage. Running the unit on voltages which are not within 
the range may cause overheating and motor burn-out. 
Heavy loads require that the voltage at motor terminals be 
no less than the voltage specified on nameplate.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

     WARNING

Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor 
can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment 
should be grounded while in use to protect operator from 
electrical shock. 
•  Check with a qualified electrician if you do not 

understand grounding instructions or if you are in doubt 
as to whether the tool is properly grounded. 

•  This tool is equipped with an approved cord rated at 

120V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (see Figure 4) 
for your protection against shock hazards. 

•  Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a  

properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding type 
receptacle, as shown (see Figure 4). 

Figure 4

Properly Grounded Outlet

Grounding Prong

3-Prong Plug

•  Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. 

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding  
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. 

     WARNING

Do not allow fingers to touch the terminals of plug when 
installing or removing from outlet. 
•  Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is 

properly installed and grounded in accordance with 
all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug 
provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet 
installed by a qualified electrician.

•  Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have 

repaired by an authorized service facility.

•  Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the 

grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the electric 
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green (or 
green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.

EXTENSION CORDS 

•  The use of an extension cord is not recommended. 

The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in 
voltage and loss of power. 

•  Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to 

carry the current and maintain adequate voltage. 

•  Use the table to determine the minimum wire size 

(A.W.G.) extension cord. 

•  Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong 

grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which 
accept the tool plug. 

•  If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any  

way, replace it immediately.
