M1107 Bench grinder
SAFETY
ELECTRICAL
This equipment must be grounded.
Verify that any existing electrical out-
let and circuit you intend to plug into
is actually grounded. If it is not, it
will be necessary to run a separate 12
AWG copper grounding wire from the
outlet to a known ground. Under no
circumstances should the grounding
pin from any three-pronged plug be
removed or serious injury may occur.
110V Operation
When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the
following guidelines:
• Use cords rated for Standard Service.
• Never exceed a length of 50 feet.
• Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger.
• Insure cord has a ground wire and pin.
• Do not use cords in need of repair.
Extension Cords
Grounding
This grinder must be grounded ! The electrical cord sup-
plied comes with a grounding pin. Do not remove it (see
Figure 2). If your outlet does not accommodate a ground
pin, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or have
an appropriate adapter installed.
Note: When using an adapter, the adapter must be
grounded.
Your bench grinder needs a 110 volt power supply. When
choosing a power supply outlet for the Model M1107
bench grinder, use a circuit that is protected with a 15
amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit
being used by other machines or tools at the same time
will add to the total load being applied to the circuit.
Add up the load ratings of all machines on the circuit. If
this number exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or
fuse, use a different circuit.

pin!
