EXTENSION CORDS

 

Use  only  3-wire  extension  cords  that  have  3-prong 
grounding  plugs  and  3-pole  receptacles  that  accept  the 
tool's  plug.  When  using  a  power  tool  at  a  considerable 
distance  from  the  power  source,  use  an  extension  cord 
heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An 
undersized extension cord  will cause a drop  in line voltage, 
resulting  in  a  loss  of  power  and  causing  the  motor  to 
overheat.  Use  the  chart  provided  below  to  determine  the 
minimum  wire  size  required  in  an  extension  cord.  Only 
round  jacketed  cords  listed  by  Underwriter's  Laboratories 
(UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

 

NOTE: 

AWG = American Wire Gauge

 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

 

This  tool  is  powered  by  a  precision  built  electric  motor.  It 
should be connected  to a 

power supply that is 115 volts,

 

60 

Hz,

 AC only (normal household current). 

Do not operate 

this  tool  on  direct  current  (DC). A substantial  voltage  drop 
will  cause  a  loss  of  power  and  the  motor  will  overheat.  If 
the product  does not operate when plugged  into an outlet, 
double check the power supply.

 

 

SPEED AND WIRING

 

The  speed  is  not  constant  and  decreases  under  a  load 
or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop 
is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line 
intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power 
tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short 
distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line 
that can support one power tool may not be able to 
support two or three tools. 

 

 
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord 
that  is  designed  for  outside  use.  This  is  indicated  by  the 
letters "WA"  on the cord's  jacket.

 

Before  using  an  extension  cord,  inspect  it  for  loose  or 
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

 

 

 

WARNING:

 

 

Keep the  extension  cord  clear of  the  working  area. 
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, 
tools  or other obstructions  while you are working  with  a 
power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal 
injury.

 

 

 

WARNING:

 

 

Check  extension  cords  before  each  use. If  damaged 
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord 
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical 
shock resulting in serious injury.

 

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 

In  the  event  of  a  malfunction  or  breakdown,  grounding 
provides  a  path  of  least  resistance  for  electric  current  to 
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with 
an 

electric 

cord 

having 

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 
ordinances. 

Do not  modify  the  plug  provided.  If it  will  not  fit  the  outlet, 
have  the  proper  outlet  installed  by  a  qualified  electrician. 
Improper 

connection 

of 

the 

equipment-grounding 

conductor  can  result  in  a  risk  of  electric  shock.  The 
conductor  with  insulation  having  an  outer  surface  that  is 
green  with  or  with-out  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. 

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the 
grounding  instructions  are not completely  understood,  or if 
in doubt  as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

or

This tool  is intended  for use on a circuit  that  has an outlet

 

like  the  one  shown  below. Ensure that the outlet has a 
grounding pin.
