DANGER
• To reduce the risk of
electric shock, check
the electrical source for
proper grounding and
follow all instructions.
• Before performing any repair or
maintenance, disconnect the tool from
the electrical source.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious personal injury.
Maximum current draw is 15 amps . Tool motor
is set to the appropriate specifications for the
region .
The RG3212 tool must be grounded properly in
accordance with all local and national electrical
code requirements .
If an extension cord is required, refer to the
“Extension Cord Requirements” section .
EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS
When pre-wired outlets are not available and
an extension cord must be used, it is important
to use the proper cord size (gauge) . Cord size
selection is based upon tool rating and cord
length . Use of a cord size (gauge) thinner than
required will cause significant voltage drop at
the motor while the tool is operating . Voltage
drops may cause damage to the motor and can
result in improper tool operation .
NOTE:
It is
acceptable to use a cord size that is thicker than
required .
Listed in the chart below are recommended
cord size (gauge) for cord lengths up to and
including 31 meters . Use of extension cords
beyond 31 meters in length should be avoided .
Extension cords must meet all applicable local
codes and facility rules for safe and proper use .
