ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRE-
PONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN
S
NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUAL-
FIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
I
HIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
T
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A
B
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The
motor of this machine is wired for 110V single phase
operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and a 3-prong grounding plug A to fit a grounded
type receptacle B. Do not remove the 3rd prong
(grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall
socket or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used C,
it must be attached to the metal screw of the receptacle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some
areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your
electrical outlet, consult a qualified electrician before
proceeding.
C
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating
on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse
blows regularly,your machine may be operating on a
circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist
and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified
technician or our service department.
CONVERTING THE MOTOR TO 220V
Note: When converting motor voltage on a machine that is
equipped with a magnetic switch, the switch contactor
must also be changed out for one made for the appropriate voltage, as well as the thermal relay/circuit breaker
and “power in” indicator light (if applicable). Failure to
make these necessary modifications to the switch will lead
to malfunction and permanent switch failure.
Should you need to convert your machine’s motor from
110V to 220V power, there is an electrical schematic
drawing on the inside of the motor cover plate. Unless
you are a qualified electrician, we do not recommend
attempting this conversion on your own. If you choose
to do so, you may risk serious personal injury, damage
to the motor and voiding the warranty of your machine.
We suggest you ask your local General International
distributor to recommend qualified electricians in your
area (or perhaps one of their own technicians) who
can make this conversion properly and safely.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your
machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage
listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the
correct size extension cord to be used based on cord
length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the
heavier the gauge.

A
R
T
S
T
A
R
T
Because each shop situation is unique, the following factors should be taken into consideration when determining
and before deciding on the ideal installation to best suit
our shop dust collection needs.
y
The unit should be installed as close to the dust source(s)
as possible.
The base of the unit is mounted on casters and as such
the dust collector can be moved from one location to
another within the shop if a permanent installation location is not practical or desired.
In all cases the unit should be installed on a flat, sturdy
and stable surface that is able to support the weight of the
unit as well as the weight of the operator. The casters
should be blocked to prevent the unit from moving when
it is in use.
Consider the space
requirements for the
unit and its use when
deciding where to
install your dust collector in your shop.
The dust collector is equipped with
a 6” main hose inlet that is fitted with
a dual-inlet “Y” fitting allowing you to
connect up to two 4” dust hoses.
LAYING OUT A PLAN FOR THE PIPING
For permanent installations it is advisable to map out a rough layout of your planned installation starting from the
dust collector out to all the machines that you wish to connect to the system.You may vary your layout to suit your
specific shop needs and may choose to use metal or plastic ducting, or flexible hose in any combination as
suited to your needs.
Note: To avoid accidents as well as damage to ducting or hoses, plan your installation with hoses and ducting
running along walls or mounted from above wherever possible. See the accompanying examples of non-recommended and recommended installations.
Wherever possible avoid running hoses and ducting
along the floor.
HOSES AND DUCTING RUNNING ALONG THE SHOP FLOOR BETWEEN MACHINERY CAN CAUSE USERS TO TRIP AND LEAD
TO SERIOUS INJURY.
8
Keep hoses and ducting safely mounted along the
walls.
