WARNING: YOUR TOOL MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V WALL OUTLET, WITH A MINIMUM 15-AMP.
BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A 15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN
THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
GROUNDING
Your tool must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your outlet
is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS TOOL CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY
WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR
DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
If this tool should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current,
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN
ANY MANNER.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your tool is ready to run for 120V operation. This machine is intended for use on
a circuit that has an outlet and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.

EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. If you do not have a choice, use the table in Fig.2
to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord needed. Use only 3-wire
extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s
plug. For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be increased
proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
WARNING
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
