WARNING: Keep the extension
cord clear of the working area. Position
the cord so it will not get caught on the
workpiece, tools, or any other obstructions
while you are working with the power tool.
Make sure any extension cord used with
this tool is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to
use one of heavy enough gauge to
carry the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
The table at right shows the correct
size to use according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number the heavier
the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly
wired and in good condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from
sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your
power tools. This circuit must not be less
than 14-gauge wire and should be
protected with either a 15 A time delayed
fuse or circuit breaker.
Before connecting the power tool to the
power source, make sure the switch is in
the OFF position and the power source is
the same as indicated on the nameplate.
Running at lower voltage will damage the
motor
