G8693 Mini Shaper -7-
Figure 1.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-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.
Under no circumstances should the grounding
pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only
3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground-
ing type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug. See
FIgure 1.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immedi-
ately.
110V Operation
Your G8693 Mini Shaper is prewired for 110 volt,
single phase operation. The
3 ⁄
4
'' H.P. motor draws
approximately 2.2 amps. We strongly recom-
mend fusing your Mini Shaper at 15 amps.
Fusing higher will not adequately protect the
motor.
Although the G8693 Mini Shaper does not draw a
large load, if you’re using a circuit that is already
close to capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a cir-
cuit breaker. If an unusual load does not exist and
power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspect-
ed by a qualified electrician.
Grounding
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 equipment-grounding 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.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
If you are unsure about the quality or con-
dition of the circuit you plan on using for
this machine, have a qualified electrician
inspect and repair the circuit. Always make
sure that your machine is properly ground-
ed. Failure to do so could result in serious
electrical shock hazard and/or mechanical
damage.
