ASSEMBLY
WARNING
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes
are not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground,
grounding means must be tested by a qualified
electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure the extension
cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire extension cords
have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles which accept the tool plug. When using an
extension cord, make sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in the voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Use the table to determine the minimum wire
size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
