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 below 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.
