GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

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 equipmentgrounding 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,
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
instructions are not completely
understood,
the tool is properly grounded.

•

Use only 3=wire extension
cords that have 3-prong grounding
and 3=pole receptacles
that accept the tool's plug.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like
the one illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter,
which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green-colored
rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

Use a proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

Your router table has a precision-built electric switch box and it should be
connected to only a 120-volt, 60-HZ AC power supply (normal household current).
DO NOT operate on direct current (DC). The large voltage drop would cause a loss
of power and the motor would overheat. If the router table does not operate when
plugged into correct 120-volt, 60-HZ AC ONLY outlet, check the power supply.
The router table comes with a 6-ft. power cord (no adapter needed).
