WIRE COnnECTIOn:
Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the electrical
Outlet is a ground Fault
Interrupter (gFCI) Outlet and
is properly grounded. Do not
modify the power Cord plug
provided with the tool. never
remove the grounding prong
from the plug. Do not use the
tool if the power Cord or plug
is damaged. If damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility
before use. If the plug will not
fit the Outlet, have a proper
Outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
grounded Tools: Tools with Three
prong plugs
Tools marked with “Grounding Re-
1.
quired” have a three wire Cord and
three prong grounding Plug. The
Plug must be connected to a prop-
erly grounded GFCI Outlet. If the
tool should electrically malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user, reducing the risk
of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the Plug is
2.
connected through the green wire
inside the Cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in
the Cord must be the only wire con-
nected to the tool’s grounding system
and must never be attached to an
electrically “live” terminal.
The tool must be plugged into an
3.
appropriate Outlet, properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances.
ExTEnSIOn CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire
1.
Extension Cord (not included).
As the distance from the supply outlet
2.
increases, you must use a heavier
gauge Extension Cord. Using exten-
sion cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and pos-
sible tool damage.
(See Table A, next page.)
The smaller the gauge number of the
3.
wire, the greater the capacity of the
Cord. For example, a 14 gauge Cord
can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge Cord.
(See Table A.)
When using more than one Exten-
4.
sion Cord to make up the total length,
make sure each Cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required.
(See Table A.)
If you are using one Extension Cord

for more than one tool, add the
nameplate
amperes and use the sum
