Electrical
Grounding Instructions
This sander must be
grounded while in use to
protect the operat or from electric shock.
The temporary adapter should only be u sed until
a properly grounded outl et can be instal led by a
qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigi d
ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter,
must be connect ed to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding prov i des a path of least resistanc e f or
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinanc es.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fi t
the outlet , have the proper outlet i nstalled by a
qualified el ectrician. Improper connecti on of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. The conductor, with
insulati on having an outer surf ace that is green
with or without y ellow stripes, is the equipment grounding conduct or. If repai r or replac ement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool i s proper ly grounded. U se onl y
three wire ex tension cords that have thr ee- pr ong
grounding plugs and t hree-pole recept acles that
accept the tool ’s pl ug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
230 Volt Operation
Referring to Fi gur e 9:
If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the
following inst r uc tions must be followed:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. The JET O sci llati ng Edge Sander m ot or has
four numbered leads that are factory
connected f or 115V operation, as sho wn in
(A). For 230V operation reconnec t the l eads
as shown in (B).
3. The 115V att achment pl ug (C) supplied wit h
the Oscillating Edge Sander must be
replaced with a UL/ CSA listed plug sui table
for 230V operation (D). Contact your local
Authorized JET Service Center or qualified
electrician for proper procedures to install
the plug. T he Oscill ating E dge Sander must
comply wit h all loc al and national codes after
the 230-volt plug is installed.
4. The Oscil lating E dge Sander with a 230-v olt
plug should only be connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as shown in
(D). No adapter is available nor should be
used with the 230-volt plug.
115 Volt Operation
Referring to Fi gur e 8:
As received from the factory, your Oscillating
Edge Sander is ready to run at 115-volt
operation. This Oscillating Edge Sander, when
wired for 115 volt, is i ntended for use on a circuit
that has an outlet and a pl ug that looks like the
one illustrated in (A). A temporary adapter,
which looks li ke the adapter shown in (B), may
be used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not
available.

Extension Cords
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an ex tension cord, be sure
to use one heav y enough to car ry the curr ent your
machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss
and overheati ng. Table 1 sho ws the cor rect si ze t o
use depending on t he cord length and namepl ate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. Remember, the sm aller the gauge number,
the heavier the cor d.
