CAUTION:
In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure,
have a licensed electrician check the outlet
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an
electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have three-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the tool’s
plug as shown in Figure A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table
below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and ampere rating. When in doubt, use a
heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician. CHECK with a licensed
electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can re-
sult in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect
the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
WARNING:
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged exten-
sion cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be
protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
