Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This
circuit must not be less than #12 wire and should be
protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is
rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.
This tool mustbe grounded while in useto protect the
