POWER CORD
1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever possible.
Use extension cords or surge protectors only when the tool's power cord
cannot reach a power supply from the work area.
a. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked W-A or W. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
b. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If
operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, the use of a
GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. It is recommended that the
GFCI should have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
c. The extension cord must not exceed 10 m in length and must be a
minimum 14 gauge to allow sufficient current flow to the motor.
2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged, as an electric
shock or surge may occur, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
a. Inspect the tool's power cord for cracks, fraying or other faults in the
insulation or plug before each use.
b. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm
while operating the tool.
c. Have the power cord replaced by a qualified service technician.
3. Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electric
shock. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
4. Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
a. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
b. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
c. Place the electrical cord in a position that prevents it from coming into
contact with the tool and from getting caught by the workpiece. The
cord should always stay behind the tool.
5. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over
unprotected power cords.
a. Position power cords away from traffic areas.
b. Place cords in reinforced conduits.
