1. EXAMINE EXTENSION CORD BEFORE USE. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and
in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it.
2. DO NOT ABUSE EXTENSION CORD. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always
disconnect by pulling on plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnect-
ing the product from the extension cord. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp/wet areas.
3. USE A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT FOR YOUR TOOL. This circuit must not be less than a
12-gauge wire and should be protected with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor 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 nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-
heating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and ampere rat-
ing. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordi-
nances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding con-
ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equip-
ment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have three-pronged plugs and outlets that accept
the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
CAUTION:
In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure,
have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
