WARNING:
Keep the extension cord
clear of the work area.
Position the cord so
that it will not get caught on the workpiece, a
tool, or any other obstruction while the power
tool is in use.
If an extension cord is used with this impact
wrench, verify that it is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one that
is heavy enough to carry the current that the tool
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage, which will result in a loss of
power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size to
use according to cord length and the amperage
rating that is listed on the tool's nameplate.
When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Verify that the extension cord is properly wired
and in good condition. Replace a damaged
extension cord immediately, or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician before using it. Keep
the extension cord away from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools.
This circuit must consist of not less than 14
gauge wire, and should be protected by either a
15 Amp. time-delayed fuse or a circuit breaker.
Before connecting the power tool to the outlet,
verify that the switch is in the OFF position, and
that the voltage of the power source is the same
as the voltage that is indicated on the tool's
nameplate. Running this impact wrench at lower
voltage will damage the motor.
