Electrical Connection; Drip Loop; Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter - Craftsman 138.75275 Operator's Manual

,_ WAR N I N G ! The double insulated
system is intended to protect the user from
shock resulting from a break in the product's
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electrical shock.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric
motor. It should be connected to a power
supply that is 120 volts, AC only (normal
household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate
this product on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss
of power and the motor will overheat. If the
product does not operate when plugged into
an outlet, double-check the power supply.
DRIP LOOP (See Figure 1.)
To prevent water from flowing along the
power cable, and possibly reaching the
electrical outlet and plug, we recommend
using a simple drip loop as shown in Figure 1
of INSTRUCTION ILLUSTRATIONS..
,_ WAR N I N G ! Keep the cord clear of the
working area. Position the cord so that it
will not get caught on lumber, tools, or other
obstructions while you are working with a
power tool. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury.
GFCI plu,gs do,not,protect against short circuits,
ovenoaas, or
SHOCKS.
To test:
• Depress the TEST button. This should cause
the RESET button to pop out.
• To restore power, depress the RESET button.
,_. WARNING!
• Plug into receptacle
• If light is not on, press reset button - light
should come on
• Press test button - light must go off
• Press reset button again for use
Do not use if test fails.
Do not use an extension cord to supply power.
Do not immerse.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper
operation of the GFCI.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which guards
against the hazards of ground fault currents.
An example of ground fault current is the
current that would flow through a person who
is using an appliance with faulty insulation
and, at the same time, is in contact with an
electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture,
wet floor, or earth.
