Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

Model G 0611X (Mfd. 07/15)

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE ANY

Additional Safety for Dovetail Machines

GUARD. The guard helps protect the operator

from the spinning cutter and flying debris during
operation. Never operate the dovetail machine or
allow it to be connected to power when the guard
is removed or serious personal injury may occur.

SAFETY GLASSES. Even with the guard in place,
chips may eject from the machine. Operator and
bystanders MUST wear safety glasses to prevent
eye injuries/

CLAMP PRESSURE. Improperly clamped stock
may be ejected from the rear of the machine dur­ing operation. Check clamping pressure by try­ing to move the clamped workpiece by hand—a
properly clamped workpiece will not move when
tugged. Improper clamping pressure with pneu­matic clamps is most often caused by the clamp
bracket not being adjusted parallel to the table or
the air pressure being regulated too low at the air
supply unit.

ADJUSTMENTS. Setting up this machine
requires the operator to work near the exposed
cutter. Always disconnect power BEFORE mak­ing adjustments or serious personal injury may
occur.

LOOSE CUTTER. Starting the machine with
a loose cutter may eject the cutter from the
machine at a high rate of speed, causing serious
personal injury to the operator or bystanders.
Always double-check that the cutter is tight after
adjusting.

REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Starting
the machine with a wrench left in the spindle
adjustment screw can result in serious personal
injury. Always remove any wrenches or other
adjustment tools from the machine after adjust­ments have been made and before starting the
machine.

CUTTER STARTING POSITION. Starting the
machine with the cutter against a workpiece or
fence may eject debris from the machine and
most likely will ruin the workpiece or cutter. Move
the cutter clear of any contact before starting the
machine!

Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos­sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri­ous personal injury may occur.

DUST COLLECTION. Using dust collection

when operating this machine greatly reduces fly­ing debris and fine airborne dust, which reduces
the risk of personal injury form these hazards.
Always use a dust collection system when oper­ating this machine.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per­sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the provided plug!

Circuit Requirements for 110V

This machine can be converted to operate on a
power supply circuit that has a verified ground
and meets the requirements listed below. (Refer
to Voltage Conversion instructions for details.)

No adapter should be used with plug. If

on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Lifting & Placing

HEAV Y LIF T!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.

The Model G0611X is designed to be lifted
from two eye bolts mounted near the top of the
machine, on both sides, using a forklift with lifting
straps. The lifting straps can be connected to the
eye bolts with metal shackles.

To lift the Model G0611X with a forklift:

1. Unbolt the base of the dovetail machine from

the shipping pallet (see Figure 6), so it can
be removed for placement.

Figure 6. Example of where machine is bolted to

the pallet (only one side shown).

2. Connect the lifting straps to the eye bolts
using shackles, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. Lifting machine from eyes.

3. Lift the machine and place it in your desired

location.

4. Remove the forklift straps.

Anchoring to Floor

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.

If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect­ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.

If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec­ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.

Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con­crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.

Dust Collection Air Connection

Attach the dust collection hose to the dust port, as
shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10. Dust collection hose attached to dust

port.

Minimum CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with
the rating of the dust collector. To determine the
CFM at the dust port, you must consider these
variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust collector,
(2) hose type and length between the dust col­lector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines
throughout the system. Explaining how to cal­culate these variables is beyond the scope of
this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a
good dust collection "how-to" book.

The air supply unit features a regulator, a filter,
and a lubricator (see Figure 11). Each of these
components must be setup properly before oper­ating the machine.

Stock Preparation

Stock preparation is one of the most important
steps for cutting dovetails. Stock must be properly
squared up or the dovetails will not fit in the sock­ets tightly or evenly. With proper planning and
preparation, you can achieve perfect results.

Stock Size

When selecting your stock, make sure that the
stock size is within the minimum and maximum
dimensions that this machine is capable of pro­cessing (see Figure 13).

The first consideration when preparing your stock
is to determine the width (height of drawer). The
dovetail machine includes a 4-sided template with

1

the following sizes: 1", 1

⁄2 ", 2", and 21⁄2 ".

To achieve perfect dovetail spacing from edge­to-edge, the stock width should be a multiple of

1

the template size. For example, when using a 1
template, the stock width should divisible by 1

1

⁄2 ".

Dado Placement

The dado placement for a drawer bottom is dic­tated by the size of template you use. In order
for the dado to be hidden when the dovetail
joint is assembled, it must run through a socket.
Figure 15 illustrates this concept.

-19 -

A general rule of thumb: Cut the center of the
dado half the distance of the template size from
the bottom edge of the stock.

Dovetail Setup

For example, when using a 1" template, center

1

the dado

⁄2 " from the bottom of all four pieces.
This placement ensures that the dado will end up
in the first socket and will not be visible when the
drawer is assembled. Figure 16 shows the ideal
dado placement for each template size.

Figure 16. Dado placement for template sizes.

Note: If your stock width is not a multiple of the

template size, this rule of thumb does not apply.
Instead, just cut the dado where you need it and
center the socket placement by eye when setting
up the machine.

Setting up the dovetail machine is a complex pro­cedure that involves trial-and-error and may take
a fair amount of time to complete.

Once you have the machine setup for a particular
stock size, then you can repeat dovetails for that
size indefinitely without additional adjustments.
However, if you change stock size, then you must
repeat this entire setup section.

Before starting any setup, you must prepare
workpieces for one drawer. These must be exactly
the same size as the drawers you will make dur­ing your production run. Since trial-and-error is
involved, this first drawer may end up as scrap;
therefore, do not prepare ALL the drawer pieces
for your production run until you have properly
setup the machine and have achieved satisfactory
dovetail joints on your test workpieces.

The setup procedures that follow refer to the
drawer pieces by their position during cutting. To
avoid confusion during the instructions, remember
this:

Layout

After you have dadoed and dimensioned your
stock, layout and mark the drawer pieces, as
shown in Figure 17. This will help you keep track
of the pieces as you cut the dovetails.

Follow the procedures in this section in order to
properly setup your machine for operation.

Setting Clamping Thickness

1. Check the current distance between the

clamps and the tables in relation to your
workpiece thickness.

—If your workpiece fits between the clamps,

then further adjustments are not neces­sary.

—If your workpiece does not fit between the

clamps, then proceed to Step 2.

2. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the

hex nuts shown in Figure 18 away from the
clamp mounting bracket.

Vertical Clamp

Hex Nuts

Horizontal Clamp

Hex Nuts

Figure 18. Hex nuts for adjusting clamping

thicknesses (only one side shown).

3. Slide the clamp mounting bracket so the

clamps provide enough room to move your
workpieces in and out.

Note: Use a ruler to make sure that both sides

are adjusted equally; otherwise, contact area
of the clamp faces will not be uniform, which
could result in the workpieces slipping during
operation.

The template works in tandem with the indicator
plate and the fixed chaser.

Indicator Plate: Since the template bar is under­neath the cutting area and away from immediate
operator view, the top edge of the indicator plate
mirrors the position of the tracer pin along the
template bar to help the operator when cutting.

Each indicator plate has two patterns. When
mounted, the top edge of the indicator plate must
match the current side of the template bar that is
being used. Whenever changing the template bar
size, the indicator plate must also be changed.
Use the two mounting cap screws to remove and
change the indicator plate (see Figure 20).

Changing Template Sizes

The template bar (Figure 19) has a different size
dovetail template on each of the four sides. The
size of each template is stamped into that side.
The active template size is always the side that is
facing down. A tracer pin connected to the head­stock guides the cutter along the template profile
when cutting.

Template Bar

Figure 19. Template bar.

Figure 20. Indicator plate installation.

Fixed Chaser: The fixed chaser supports the

vertical workpiece, yet allows the cutter to cut the
bottom of the vertical workpiece without hitting
the metal fixed chaser. To prevent the cutter from
contacting the fixed chaser, use the fixed chaser
that corresponds to the template size shown in
Figure 21.

Setting Fences

The dovetail machine features HDPE (high den­sity polyethylene) plastic fences for both the
horizontal and vertical workpieces (see Figure

24). These fences are cut into during operation to
reduce tear-out.

The fences should be set so that the dovetails
are evenly distributed across the width of the
workpiece. Setting the fences requires attention to
the "in" and "out" positions of the tracer pin (see
Figure 25). When the tracer pin is in the "in" posi­tion, the cutter is cutting the workpiece. When the
tracer is in the "out" position, the cutter is outside
of the workpiece.

6. Remember the position of the left-hand edge
of the vertical workpiece on the vertical fence
scale, and move the vertical workpiece out of
the way.

7. Align the right-hand edge of the vertical fence
with the same position on the scale from the
previous step, then lock the vertical fence in
place with the cap screw.

8. Familiarize yourself with the horizontal fence
adjustment components in Figure 28.

Figure 26. Vertical fence adjustment cap screw.

5. Align the left-hand edge of the vertical

workpiece with the centerline of the cutter
when the tracer pin is in the "in" or cutting
position. This position will make the first cut
in the vertical workpiece half the width of the
cutter. Figure 27 illustrates this concept.

Note: If your workpiece width is not evenly

divisible by the template size, then setting the
fences for even cut distribution is a matter of
judging the best possible position by eye.

A taller cutter height is better due to larger tails
and pins, so maximizing the cutter height is pre­ferred in most situations.

Testing the setup requires you to make cuts and
adjust the cutter until the dovetail fit is perfect.
Be aware that the drawer you make during this
procedure may end up as scrap. To achieve good
dovetails, you must have prepared your stock as
described in Stock Preparation on Page 19.

To make a test cut:

1. Position the RIGHT workpiece on the vertical

support bar, as shown in the top illustration in
Figure 44 (with the dado positioned out and
opposite the fence), then clamp down the

Cuts 2 & 4

Dadoes Close

to Fences

2. Place the BACK workpiece on the horizon­tal table, as shown in the top illustration in
Figure 44 (with the dado positioned down
and opposite the fence), then clamp down
the BACK workpiece. The bottom of both
workpieces should be flush with each other
and both workpieces should be firmly against
their respective fences.

3. Position the cutter so it is not touching the
fences or workpieces.

4. INSTALL AND SECURE THE GUARD!

5. Connect the machine to the power source.

6. Make the test cut as described below, but

read all of the steps before starting, so you
do not have to stop after you begin cutting:

a. Start the cut on the left-hand side of the

vertical piece (half of the cutter will cut
into the plastic fences), then carefully fol­low the template from left-to-right, mak­ing sure the tracer pin maintains contact
with the template (otherwise unneces­sary tear-out will occur).

b. After clearing the workpieces, do a clean-

up pass by bringing the headstock back
the opposite direction and following the
template from right-to-left.

c. Turn the machine OFF, and position

the cutter clear of the workpieces and
fences.

7. Remove the workpieces from the machine
and test fit the dovetail joint.

8. Carefully examine how the tails fit into the
sockets. The tails should fit into the sockets
tightly and both workpieces should be flush
with each other. Typically, fine-tuning the
dovetail joint fit requires balancing socket
depth and the cutter adjustment, as follows:

—If the workpieces do not fit together or if the

fit is too tight, then adjust the cutter to take
a larger cut and repeat "Cut 1."

—If the workpieces fit together too loosely,

then adjust the cutter to take a smaller cut
and do "Cut 2."

—If the tails fit easily side-to-side into the

sockets, but do not go down far enough,
adjust the socket depth deeper.

—If the tails fit easily side-to-side into the

sockets, but go too far down, adjust the
socket depth shallower.

To adjust the cutter:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove the guard.

3. Use a 4mm hex wrench to loosen the two set

screws on the spindle just enough to allow
the cutter to rotate. (Loosening the two set
screws too much may cause the cutter to
drop down in the spindle and throw off other
adjustments.)

4. Rotate the cutter inside the spindle as nec­essary to take a smaller or larger cut (see
Figure 46). Use the lowest point in the cutter
groove to keep track of the cutter position
during adjustments.

Lowest
Point

Adjusting Cutter

The cutter rotates eccentrically in the spindle,
which allows it to be adjusted to control the dove­tail joint "fit."

Two set screws hold the cutter in position and a
spindle scale is provided for monitoring the cutter
position during adjustments. Figure 45 shows the
set screws and spindle scale.

Replacing Cutter

Tensioning Belt

When the cutter gets dull or if it gets damaged, it
must be replaced. Dull cutters can be resharpened
by a professional, but cutters are inexpensive and
easy to replace.

Tools Needed Qty

Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1

To replace the cutter:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove the guard.

3. Loosen the two set screws that hold the cut-

ter in the spindle. (The set screws must be
backed out approximately half-way before
the cutter can be removed.)

4. Slide the cutter out and insert the new one.

5. Tighten the two set screws to secure the cut-

ter in place.

A flat belt transfers power from the motor to the
cutter spindle. This belt stretches with use and
periodically needs to be tensioned. If the cutter
lacks power, stops spinning, or cuts slower than
normal, then the belt may need to be tightened.

When properly tensioned, the belt should only
deflect approximately a
from the middle.

Tools Needed Qty

Hex Wrench 6mm .............................................. 1

To tighten the belt:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Loosen the two motor mount cap screws

shown in Figure 57.

3. Turn the belt tension bolt, shown in Figure 58,
clockwise to tension the belt.

Replacing Belt

Note: Each time you adjust the belt tension,

only turn the bolt one full turn. This will pre­vent over-tightening the belt, which can lead
to premature bearing failure in the motor and
spindle.

Belt Tension Bolt

4. Tighten the motor mount cap screws.

If the belt is left loose, it can stop during operation
while the pulley continues to spin. This scenario
will burn the belt, which will create a horrible vibra­tion and smell of burned rubber. If this happens,
then the belt must be replaced before continuing
operations.

Tools Needed Qty

Hex Wrench 6mm .............................................. 1

To replace the belt:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Lower the cutter as far as it will go.

Wiring Safety Instructions

SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-

nected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical com­ponents!

MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpre­dictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved after­market parts.

WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires dis­connected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.

WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious per­sonal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.

MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.

CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
