This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Sketch A in the figure below.
The tool has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A in the figure below. A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in Sketch 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. The
green-coloured rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
•
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord that is marked
W-A or W.
These cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Using a damaged cord can cause shocks, burns, or electrocution.
•
Use a proper extension cord.
Make sure that extension cords are in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the drawn current
needed by the router and accessories. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use,
depending on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
•
Be sure that extension cords are properly wired
and in good condition.
Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
•
Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools.
This circuit must not be less than #6 wire,
and should be protected with a time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the tool to the power line,
make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor’s nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
