POWER REQUIREMENTS
Power must be supplied to the drive motor
through a safety foot switch to ensure safe
operation. Make sure the drive motor is
grounded properly in accordance with Article
250 of the National Electrical Code.
If an extension cord is required, refer to the
“Extension Cord Requirements” section
below for cord sizes.
EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS
When pre-wired outlets are not available and
an extension cord must be used, it is impor-
tant to use the proper cord size (i.e. Conduc-
tor Size American Wire Gauge). Cord size
selection is based upon tool rating (amps)
and cord length (feet). Cord sizes (gauges)
thinner than required will cause significant
voltage drop at the drive motor while the tool
is operating. Voltage drops may cause dam-
age to the drive motor and can result in im-
proper tool operation.
NOTE:
It is acceptable
to use a heavier cord size (gauge) than what
is required.
The required cord sizes (gauges) for cord
lengths up to and including 100 feet (30 m)
are listed in the table below. Use of extension
cords longer than 100 feet (30 m) must be
avoided.
