obscured or removed.

19. Your risk from those exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of

Grounding Instructions

Caution: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

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

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement 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 is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension
cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your sander is ready to run at 115 volt operation. This sander, when wired
for 115 volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrated
in (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in (B), may be used to connect
this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in (B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab,
extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box, as shown in (B).

230 Volt Operation



WARNING!

All electrical connections must be done by a qualified electrician!

Failure to comply may result in serious injury!

If 230V operation is desired, the following instructions must be followed:

1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2. This sander is supplied with four motor leads that are connected for 115V operation, as shown in
Figure A. Reconnect these four motor leads for 230V operation, as shown in Figure B.

3. The 115V attachment plug (A), supplied with the sander, must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug
suitable for 230V operation (D). Contact your local Authorized JET Service Center or qualified
electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The sander must comply with all local and
national codes after the 230 volt plug is installed.

4. The sander with a 230 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration
(D). No adapter is available or should be used with the 230 volt plug.

Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded.
If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.
