POWER CONNECTIONS
Set aside an electrical circuit that is used exclusively for tools. It should be at least a #12 wire and protected with a 15 AMP time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power source, make sure that the voltage is the same as indicated on the machine, and that the machine is turned off. Check all connections for good contact. WARNING: If the machine runs on insufficient voltage, damage to the motor may occur.
GROUNDING
Failure to adequately ground the machine may result in electric shock to the operator. Always use a three prong extension cord and outlet. If there is any doubt that the outlet is not grounded properly, have it checked by a certified electrician. Only use three to two adapters temporarily.
EXTENSION CORDS
Check the condition of the extension cord regularly. Use a three wire extension cord with a three prong plug, and make sure it is plugged into an appropriate three hole receptacle. If you must use a two prong adapter temporarily, make sure the grounding extension on the adapter is connected to a permanent ground. Do not bend the grounding plug to fit it into a two hole receptacle. Remember to use a cord heavy enough to carry the jointer’s current. If the cord length is under 25 feet for 110V operation, and under 50 feet for 220V operation, use at least a 14 AWG gauge extension cord. If the cord length is between 25 and 50 feet for 110V operation, and between 50 and 100 feet for 220V, use at least a 12 AWG gauge extension cord. Do not use cords longer than 50 feet and 100 feet for 110V and 220V operations respectively.
CHANGING VOLTAGE
This machine is set up at the factory for 110V use. To change the voltage to 220V, disconnect the machine from its power source and follow the electrical diagram as shown below.
