ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounding instructions:
In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electrical current in order to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord that has a grounding wire and a grounding plug (1).
The plug must be plugged into a matching power supply
outlet (2) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances or grounded wall socket for optimum
performance. The grounding plug has two flat blade terminals and grounding pin. If
the grounding plug does not fit into the outlet, do not try to modify it. Have a qualified
electrician to install the proper type of electrical outlet. If the compressor electrical
cord requires repair or replacement, have this done by an authorized, qualified service
technician.
Guidelines for using extension cords.
•
Use only 3-wired extension cord that have 3-prong grounding plug that fits into a
3-slot receptacle.
•
Never use an electrical adaptor with the grounding plug.
•
Ensure the extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord immediately or have it repaired by a qualified technician.
•
The length of the extension cord should not exceed 50’ (15 m). The minimum wire
size of the extension cord is 12 gauge (AWG).
•
Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excess heat and damp or wet areas.
•
Using extension cords with inadequately-sized wires will cause a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and tool damage. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the extension cord. If in doubt, select the next heavier gauge.
NOTE:
Do not use an extension cord unless it is necessary. It is better to
use a longer air hose that reaches the work area where air is needed.
NOTE:
Recycle unwanted materials rather than disposing of them as
waste. Sort the tools and their components in specific categories and take
to the local recycling centre or dispose of them in an environmentally-safe
way.
