WARNING
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing from outlet.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• The conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure13) may be used to connect this plug to a matching
2-conductor receptacle as shown in Figure 11. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Adapter
In Canada, the use of temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electric Code. Where permitted, the rigid
green tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must be
securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such
as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly grounded
outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet
boxes are not properly grounded. To ensure proper
ground, grounding means must be tested by a qualified
electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure the extension
cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles
which accept the tool plug. When using an extension cord,
make sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
the voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
Extension Cord Length
Wire Size…………….. A.W.G.
Up to 25 ft…………… 16 gauge
NOTE:
Using extension cords over 25 ft. long is not
recommended.
