Inspect contents for shipping damage. Report damage, if any, to your distributor. Do not discard shipping materials until grinder is installed and running properly. Lift grinder out of carton along with plywood platform. Remove platform and place grinder on a sturdy table or workbench. Secure to workbench with fasteners through the four holes in base. See sect. 4.1 for hole spacings. An optional adaptor plate (not included) is available for mounting the grinder to the JET JDCS-505 Dust Collection Stand. See your dealer or visit our website for ordering information. IMPORTANT: The abrasive belt has been detensioned for shipping. Belt must be properly tensioned before operating grinder. See sect. 7.3. 5.3 Dust collection It is recommended that a dust collection system be used with this machine. Connect dust hose (not provided) to the 2-inch port at back of grinder and secure with clamp. 6.0 Electrical connections Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury. Before connecting to power source, be sure switch is in off position. It is recommended that the Belt Grinder be connected to a dedicated 20 amp circuit with circuit breaker or time-delay fuse marked "D". Local codes take precedence over recommendations. 6.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools: 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. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-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. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious or fatal injury. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately. 2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure 6-1. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. 3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D, Figure 6-1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. 8
