Model W1712 (Mfg. Since 3/12)

Grounding Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain

types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides

a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in

order to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will

increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green

insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-

grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power

cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-

grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel

if you do not understand these grounding requirements,

or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is

properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or

plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and

immediately replace it with a new one.

Figure 2. NEMA 5-15 plug & receptacle.

DO NOT modify the provided plug or

use an adapter if the plug will not

fit the receptacle. Instead, have an

electrician install the proper receptacle

on a power supply circuit that meets

the requirements for this machine.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this

machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may

damage electrical components and shorten motor life.

Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords and

the gauge smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers

indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a

ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and

meet the following requirements:

Minimum Gauge Size at 110V ...................... 14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.

For 110V Connection

This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an

equipment-grounding wire and NE M A 5-15 grounding plug.

The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle

(see Figure) that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with local codes and ordinances.
