2. Extension Cord
To use the power tool when no suitable power
source is nearby, use an extension cord of
suitable size to ensure safety and to prevent
power loss and overheating.
Determine from the accompanying table the
required extension cord wire size.
Check power cords and extension cords for
loose or exposed wires and damaged
insulation before using.
Repair or replace as needed before using the
power tool.
NOTE:
The lower the wire size number
means the heavier the wire and the
further it will carry current without
a voltage drop.
WARNING
:
Never connect this unit to an electrical power source until all
operating instructions have been read and understood.
3. Releasing the locking pin
When the power tool is prepared for shipping, its main parts are secured by a locking
pin. Move the handle slightly so that the locking pin can be disengaged and adjusted as
indicated in Fig. 7.
NOTE:
Lowering the handle slightly will enable you to disengage the locking pin more
easily and safely.
4. Installing the dust bag, holder, stopper and vises assembly.
Attach the dust bag, holder, stopper and vise assembly as indicated in Fig. 1.
