Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one shown in
figure 1. It also has a grounding pin like the one shown.
2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit
having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like
the one illustrated in Fig. 2, the machine will have a grounding plug. A tempo-
rary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. 2, may be used to
connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. 2 if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored metal ear", extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Cana-
dian Electric Code.
I_ ARNmNG! In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is properly I
grounded. To prevent possible electrical hazards, have a qualified electrician
J
check the receptacle if you are not sure.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong ground type plug and
matching receptacle which will accept the machine's plug. When using an exten-
sion cord. be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power
and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) shouid be used. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smailer the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for
outside use. This is indicated by the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for ioose or exposed wires and cut or
worn insulation.
WARNING! Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the "_
cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while
J
you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING! Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace im-
mediately Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury
