DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER
CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY.

path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This Mortiser is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

110-120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your Mortiser is ready to run for 110-120V
operation. This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR(S) FOR THEY

EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. If you do
not have a choice, use the table in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire
size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire
size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage
to the Mortiser motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
