POWER REQUIREMENTS
DANGER
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
check the electrical source for proper
grounding.
• Before performing any maintenance on
the tool, turn the switch on the power
drive to the “OFF” position, or disconnect
the power cord from the electrical source.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious personal injury.
POWER DRIVE REQUIREMENTS
VE26 tools are designed for manual operation
or operation with a power drive . For power
operation, tools mount directly onto a Victaulic
VPD752 Power Drive or a Ridgid
®
300 Power
Drive . Consult the drive manufacturer’s
instructions for proper operation of the drive .
Contact Victaulic for information regarding
mounts for alternate power drives .
Power must be supplied to the drive motor
through a safety foot switch to ensure safe
operation . Ensure that the power drive is
grounded properly in accordance with Article
250 of the National Electrical Code .
If an extension cord is required, refer to the
“Extension Cord Requirements” section that
follows for cord sizes . In addition, refer to the
power drive manufacturer’s instructions prior
to use .
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 (i .e . Conductor Size
American Wire Gauge) . Cord size selection is
based upon tool rating (amps) and cord length
(feet) . Use of a cord size (gauge) thinner than
required will cause significant voltage drop
at the power drive while the tool is operating .
Voltage drops may cause damage to the power
drive and can result in improper tool operation .
NOTE: It is acceptable to use a cord size that is
thicker than required .
The required cord sizes for cord lengths up to
and including 100 ft/31 m are listed in the table
below . Use of extension cords longer than 100
ft/31 m must be avoided .
