GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your

extensioncord is ingood condition. When using an

extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enoughto

carrythe currentyour productwill draw. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in linevoltage, resulting inloss of

power and cause overheating.The table belowshows

the correctsize to use dependingon cordlengthand

nameplateampere rating.If in doubt,use the next

heaviergauge. The smallerthe gauge number,the

heavier the cord.

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.

This tool must be grounded whilein use to protect the

operator from electrical shock.
