ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric currentand reduces the risk of
electric shock. This tool isequipped with an electric cord
that has an equipment-grounding conductor anda
groundingplug. The plug MUST be plugged intoa
matching receptacle thatis properly installedand
grounded in accordance withALL local codes and
ordinances,
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it willnot fit
the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installedby a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION ofthe equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock.The
conductor withgreen insulation(with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electriccord or plug is necessary,
DO NOT connect the equipment-groundingconductorto
a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if
you do notcompletely understand the grounding
instructions,or if you are not sure the tool isproperly
grounded.
USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE
RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carrythe currentyour productwill draw. An undersized
cord willcause a drop in line voltage, resulting in lossof
power and cause overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to usa depending on cord lengthand
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 replacea damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified personbefore
using it. Protectyour extensioncords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuitfor your tools. This circuit
must not be lessthan # 12 wire and shouldbe protected
with a t 5 Amp time delay fuse. Before connectingthe
motor tothe power line, make sure the switch is in the
OFF positionand the electriccurrent is rated the same
as the current stamped on the motor nameplate.
Runningat a lower voltage will damage the motor.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in Figure A.
Figure A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
receptacle is not available, an adapter (Figure B) can be
used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact
grounded receptacle. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded receptacle can be
installed by a qualified technician. The adapter (Figure B)
has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected
to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly
grounded receptacle box. The Canadian Electrical Code
prohibits the use of the adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is
properlygrounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electriciancheck the receptacle.
This tool isfor indoor use only.Do not expose to rain or
use in damp locations.
