GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. 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. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
1. Examine extension cord before use. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
2. Do not abuse extension cord. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling on
plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and should be
protected with a 15A 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. Run-
ning at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
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 nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier
cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

1. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-pronged plugs and
outlets that accept the tool’s plug as shown in Fig. A. Do not modify the
plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a licensed electrician.
2. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result
in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replace-
ment of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equip-
ment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
3. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
CHECK WITH A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
WARNING:
To avoid electrocution, DO NOT use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.
