EXTENSION CORDS
USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD
WITH THIS MACHINE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. FOR
BEST POWER AND SAFETY, PLUG THE MACHINE
DIRECTLY INTO A DEDICATED GROUNDED ELECTRI-
CAL OUTLET THAT IS WITHIN THE SUPPLIED CORD
LENGTH OF THE MACHINE.
IF AN EXTENSION CORD NEEDS TO BE USED, IT
SHOULD ONLY BE FOR LIMITED OPERATION OF THE
MACHINE. THE EXTENSION CORD SHOULD BE AS
SHORT AS POSSIBLE IN LENGTH, AND HAVE A
MINIMUM GAUGE SIZE OF 14AWG.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
THE PROPER TYPE OF A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG
THAT MATCHES THE MACHINE'S 3-PRONG PLUG AND
ALSO THE 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE
TOOL’S PLUG.
Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use a tool
with a damaged cord, since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious
injury.
Use a proper extension cord. Only use cords listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power
and overheating of tool. When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
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.
DO NOT MODIFY ANY PLUG.
If it will not fit the electrical
receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD OR PLUG
IMMEDIATELY.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
of the
equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor.
DO NOT
connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary.
CHECK
with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded when installing or replacing a plug.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a 230
volt electrical receptacle.
FIGURE A
shows the type of the
230V, 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that
has a grounding conductor that is required.
* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to
be certified SJT type or better.
** The use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and requires a grounding plug (not
included). The plug
MUST
be plugged into a matching
electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with
ALL
local codes and ordinances.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS TOOL REQUIRES THE USE OF
A 230V PLUG (NOT INCLUDED), AND MUST BE
GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Sample of 230 volt plug required for this machine.
Consult a qualified
electrician if the
distance of the
machine from the
electrical panel is
greater than 30 feet.
