electrical inForMationWarning!ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT INSERIOUS INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THEPOWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in thisinstruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations thatmay occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense andcaution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must besupplied by the operator. Performance of this tool may vary depending onvariations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect toolperformance.Voltage WarningBefore connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) besure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplateof the tool. If one says 120V and the other says 115V then there will be nocomplications. Never try to plug a 120V tool into a 240V outlet, or theother way around. A voltage greater than that specified on the tool canresult in serioUs inJUrY to the user, as well as damage to the tool. Ifin doubt, do not plUg in tHe tool.Warning: YOUR SPINDLE SANDER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO CONNECTIN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.doUble insUlationDouble insulated tools are equipped with a polarized two-prong plug (oneblade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet onlyone way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If itstill does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.Do not alter or change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminatesthe need for three wire grounded power supply and grounded powercords.extension cordsImproper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of yourtool which can result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is ratedto allow sufficient current flow to the motor. If you are using the tooloutdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA”on the jacket).The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on theamperage of the tool and the length of the extension cord. This size isdetermined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller thegauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used doesnot matter: Total length determines the minimum AWG rating. Every cordmust meet the AWG rating. Use the chart in Fig.2 to determine what AWGrating is required for your situation.FigUre 1FigUre 2Polarized plugPolarized outlettool’samperagerating3-66-88-1010-1212-16cord size in a.W.g.cord length in Feet25 50 100 15018 16 16 1418 16 14 1218 16 14 1218 16 14 1214 12 - -
