4. 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.Use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs
and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
5. Repair or replace damaged or
worn cord immediately.

6. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated above
in
125 V~ 3-prong plug and Outlet
. The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
above in
125 V~ 3-prong plug and Outlet
.
7. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances.
8. Do not use an adapter to connect
this tool to a different outlet.
Extension cords
1.
Grounded
tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double Insulated
tools can use either
a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of
power and possible tool damage.
(See Table A.)
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current
than a 16 gauge cord.
(See Table A.)
4. When using more than one extension cord
to make up the total length, make sure
each cord contains at least the minimum
wire size required.
(See Table A.)
5. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one tool, add the nameplate
amperes
and use the sum to determine the required
minimum cord size.
(See Table A.)
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
