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 disconnecting 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.

GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS

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 ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The 

smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
