This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
EXTENSION CORDS
THE USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS PRODUCT IS NOT
RECOMMENDED
as this can result in the loss of power to your air compressor which
can prevent the motor from starting or running properly. This can also cause your fuse to
blow or circuit breaker to trip. Running your air compressor on an undersized extension
cord will cause permanent damage to internal switches and overheating of the electric
motor or its capacitor. Use an additional length of air hose rather than an extension cord.
If you must use an extension cord, it should be plugged into a
GFCI
found in circuit boxes or
protected receptacles. Use only UL listed 3-wire extension cords that have a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. Refer to the guide on the next page for minimum
gauge required for extension cords.
