PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Make sure the cord is plugged into a
properly installed and grounded power
outlet. To prevent electrical hazards, have a
qualified electrician ensure that the line is
properly wired.
Make sure that the sander is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. If an adaptor plug is used, it must
be attached to the metal screw of the
receptacle.

It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CT180. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
make sure the extension cord does not
exceed 50-feet in length and the cord is 14-
gauge to prevent motor damage.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in the
risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly
grounded.
