POWER SOURCE
WARNING: Do not connect planer to the power source
until all assembly steps have been completed.
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified. Normal loads wiN be handled safely on
voltages not more than 10% above or below specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within range may
cause overheating and motor burn out. Heavy loads require
that voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage
specified on nameplate.
• Power supply to the motor is controlled by a switch with
key. Removing the key from switch will lock the unit and
prevent unauthorized use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment
must be grounded while in use to protect operator from
electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you do not understand
grounding instructions or if you are in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved cord rated at 150V
and a 3-prong grounding type plug (see Figure 10) for
your protection against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle,
as shown (see Figure 10).

• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.
in the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of
plug when inserting or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided, if it will not fit
in outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green
(or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
• A 2-prong wall receptacle must be replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance with
National Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Any receptacle replacement should be per-
formed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 11) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.

• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted
in Canada.)
Where a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is
permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side of
the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent
electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe,
a properly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded
wire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes
are not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground,
grounding means must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord win cause some drop in
voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• The minimum extension cord wire size is A.W.G. 12.
Do not use extension cords over 25 feet long.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the
tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.
Planer is supplied with a 1Y2 HP motor installed.
The 120 Volt AC universal motor has the following
specifications:
Horsepower .................................. 1Y2 HP
Voltage ........................................ 120
Amperes ........................................ 15
Hertz .......................................... 60
Phase ....................................... Single
Cutterhead RPM ............................... 8000
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Make sure unit is turned off and disconnected
from power source before inspecting any wiring.
The motor is assembled with an approved three conductor
cord to be used on 120 volts. The power supply to the motor
is controlled by a double pole locking switch.
The power lines are connected directly to the switch. The
green ground line must remain securely fastened to the
frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
A manual reset overload protector is installed in line with
the power supply to the motor. If the planer is overloaded,
the protector will break the circuit.
