The electric motor supplied is wired for 115 VAC grounded
operation. Make certain that the correct size grounded
(3-wires) extension cord is used. See Table 7 below.
Motors can burn out when the line voltage falls 10% below
the voltage rating of the motor. Failure to use proper voltage
will cause the motor to overheat and actuate the overload
switch.
If overload protection should actuate because of improper
voltage or any other malfunction, turn the main switch on
the motor to the "OFF" position and correct the problem,
press the reset switch button, and turn the main switch to
the "ON" position.
