Wen 65911, Manual

1. Examine extension cord before use. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good 

condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

2. Do not abuse extension cord. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by 

pulling on plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from 

the extension cord. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.

3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and 

should be protected with a 15A time-delayed 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.

GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS 

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product 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 be used according to cord length and ampere rating. When in doubt, use a 

heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not 

completely understand the grounding instructions or whether the tool is 

properly grounded.

USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have three-pronged plugs 

and outlets that accept the tool’s plug as shown in Fig. 1. Repair or replace a 

damaged or worn cord immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for 
an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has 
an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet 
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a 
licensed electrician. Make certain that the outlet in question is properly grounded, if you are unsure have a 
licensed electrician check the outlet.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor 

with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or 

replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor 

to a live terminal.
