GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRODUCTS WITH GROUNDING PLUGS
WARNING:
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
1. In the event o f a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current
and reduces the risk of electric shock. This charger is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment ground-
ing conductor and a grounding plug.
CAUTION:
In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. CHECK with a licensed elec-
trician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions or whether the tool is
properly grounded.
2. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. DO NOT modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a licensed electrician.
3. 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 conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
WARNING:
This charger is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
1. 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. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3. 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 overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier
cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the tool to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF posi-
tion 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.
