We do not recommend the use of extension cords
with 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange
the placement of your equipment and the installed
wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.
Should it be necessary to use an extension, make
sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S)
or better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety
Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for
the extension cord when using either 110V or
220V. The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace
extension cords when they become worn or dam-
aged.
We have covered some basic electrical
requirements for the safe operation of your
machine. These requirements are not nec-
essarily comprehensive. You must be sure
that your particular electrical configura-
tion complies with local and state codes.
Ensure compliance by checking with your
local municipality or a licensed electrician.
Grounding Extension Cords
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
provides electric current a path of least resis-
tance to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This
tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor which must be
properly connected to 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.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electric shock.
The conductor with green or green and yellow
striped insulation is the electrical-grounding con-
ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the equip-
ment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually ground-
ed. Under no circumstanc-
es should the grounding
pin from any three-pronged
plug be removed. Serious
injury may occur.
