REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Makesure your
extensioncord is ingood condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure touse one heavyenoughto
carrythecurrentyourproductwilldraw. An undersized
cord willcausea drop in linevoltage, resulting inloss of
powerand causeoverheating.The table belowshows
the correctsize to use dependingon cordlengthand
nameplateampere rating.If in doubt,use the next
heaviergauge. The smallerthe gauge number,the
heavier thecord.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than # 12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 Amp time delay 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.
Thistool must be grounded whilein useto protect the
operator from electrical shock.
