PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
CX401 is equipped with a 110 single phase
motor which features a 3-conductor cord
and a 3-prong grounding plug to fit a
grounded type receptacle. Make sure the
cord is plugged into a properly installed and
grounded power outlet.
To prevent electrical hazards, have a
qualified electrician ensure that the line is
properly wired.
This tool is for use on a normal 110-volt
circuit and is factory-equipped with a
specific electric cord and plug to permit
connection to a proper electric circuit. Make
sure that the tool is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug.
If an adaptor plug is used, it must be
attached to the metal screw of the
receptacle.

It is strongly recommended not to use
extension cords with your CX401. Always
try to position your machine close to the
power source so that you do not need to
use extension cords.
In case if you really find it necessary to use
an extension cord, make sure the extension
cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and
the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor
damage.
Your CX401 is equipped with a cord having
3-prongs which fits a 3 prong grounding
receptacle as shown in figure-3. Do not
remove the grounding prong to fit it into a 2-
pronged outlet. Always check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
