General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not

use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

mano de 127 mm (5 pulg)

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or

a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the

power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional Speciﬁ c Safety Rules

• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Do not sand metal of any kind with your sander. Sparks may be generated by sanding screws, nails or other metals which may ignite dust particles.

• Do not wet sand with this sander. Liquids may enter the motor housing and cause electric shock.

• Empty dust collection system frequently, especially when sanding resin-coated surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish, shellac, etc. Dispose of coated dust particles according to the finish manufacturer’s guidelines, or place in a metal can with a tight fitting metal lid. Remove coated dust particles from the premises daily. The accumulation of fine sanding dust particles may self ignite and cause fire.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.

• Sanding of lead-based paint, chemically pressure treated lumber or other materials that may contain carcinogens is not recommended. Sanding of these materials should only

be performed by a professional.

• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electric shock or electrocution. ALWAYS disconnect the sander from the power source before cleaning. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES that conform to ANSI Z87.1.

• ALWAYS DISCONNECT TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE CHANGING ABRASIVE SHEETS. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use

face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote

absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI

S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product

may contribute to hearing loss.

Additional Safety Rules for Paint Removal

1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.

2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.

2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. See your local hardware store for the proper NIOSH approved dust mask.

3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle on them.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.

2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mil thickness.

3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.

CLEANING AND DISPOSAL

1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.

2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area.

3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being used again.

Motor

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. D not operate, check power supply.

WARNING: Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning

label. Accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. Accessory ratings must always be above tool speed as shown on tool nameplate.

EWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. Be sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could result.

Attaching Abrasive Paper (Fig. 1, 2)

Use 5" (127 mm) sanding discs with an 8-hole dust extraction pattern which attach to the sander with hook and loop.

1. Turn the sander over so that the sanding pad is facing upward.

2. Clean the dust from the vinyl pad face.

3. Hold the pad with one hand to keep it from rotating.

4. With the other hand, align the holes and place the disc directly on top of the pad. NOTE: Do not use the sanding screen (the screen used for sanding drywall) directly on the hook

and loop pad. The screen will not hold and will damage the hooks on the pad. The hooks will wear very rapidly if left in contact with the work surface while the tool is operating.

Switch (Fig. 3)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make sure the sander is not resting on the workpiece when the switch is turned on.

To turn unit on, depress the side of the dust-protected switch (A) that reads “ON” and corresponds to the symbol “I.” To turn the unit off, depress the side of the switch that reads “OFF” and corresponds with the symbol “O.”

Speed Control Dial (Fig. 4)

The speed control dial (B) allows you to increase or decrease the speed from 7,000-12,000 orbits per minute. The optimal speed setting for each application is very much dependent on personal preference. Generally, you will want to use a higher setting on harder materials and a lower setting on softer materials. Material removal rate increases as speed increases.

Pad Brake

These sanders are equipped with a pad brake that prevents over-speeding of the pad. If the tool is lifted off the work surface while the motor is running, the brake will limit pad rotation to no more than 500 RPM.

The plastic pad brake is used to provide the braking action. Eventually, this brake may require replacement. If the brake fails to limit pad rotation, send the sander to a D replace the brake yourself using the information under Brake Replacement in the Maintenance section of this manual.

EWALT service facility or

Dust Collection (Fig. 5–7)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, NEVER operate this tool with perforated

paper unless the dust collection system is in place.

WARNING: Empty dust collection system frequently, especially when sanding resin-coated surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish, shellac, etc. Dispose of coated dust particles according to the finish manufacturer’s guidelines, or place in a metal can with a tight fitting metal lid. Remove coated dust particles from the premises daily. The accumulation of fine sanding dust particles may self ignite and cause fire.

To use the dust collection system, install the dust container assembly (C and D) on the dust port (E) as far as it will go. To empty the dust container, remove it and empty it into a trash receptacle.

NOTE: To use your shop vacuum with the dust collection system, remove the dust container (D) by twisting it and pulling it away from the adapter. Remove the black tag (J), and attach your vacuum hose directly to the adapter port (C).

Using the Sander (Fig. 8)

To operate your sander, grasp it as shown in Figure 8 and turn it on. Move it in long, sweeping strokes along the surface, letting it do the work. Be sure to check your work often. This sander is capable of removing material rapidly, especially with coarse paper.

The random orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the grain or at any angle across it for most sanding jobs. To produce the best finish possible, start with coarse grit sandpaper and change gradually to finer and finer paper. Vacuum and wipe the surface with a tack cloth between grit steps. Your sander is designed to sand into small or confined areas. Its small size and light weight make it ideal for overhead work.

The rate at which the dust container fills will vary with your workpiece and the coarsness of the sandpaper. For best results, empty the container frequently. When sanding painted surfaces (see Additional Safety Rules for Paint Removal), you may find that the sandpaper clogs with paint. A heat gun will work much better to remove paint before sanding. Follow all the safety instructions in the heat gun instruction manual.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Changing Back-up Pad (Fig. 9)

1. Grasp pad with hand and use a star T20 driver to remove three pad retaining screws (F).

2. Lift pad from sander.

3. Reverse procedure to install new pad. Tighten pad retaining screws to 22 to 26 in-lbs.

Brake Replacement (Fig. 10–13)

1. Remove back-up pad. Refer to Changing Back-Up Pad.

2. Remove old brake (G).

3. Insert new brake by lining up two keyed areas (H) in brake (G) with slots (I) in the sander

housing. Hold these keyed areas down with your thumbs and then work the brake's edges around the lip of the sander housing. Attached brake should look like Figure10.

4. Reassemble back-up pad. Refer to Changing Back-Up Pad.

Failure to Start

Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.

USE WITH GENERATORS: In rare cases the idle mode of a generator might not start the sander. If this occurs, turn off the sander and turn off idle mode of the generator. Then try starting the sander again.

Lubrication

This tool has been lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. No further lubrication is necessary.

Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour les outils électriques

AVERTISSEMENT ! Lire tous les avertissements de sécurité et toutes les directives.

Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder par un choc électrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.

CONSERVER TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES

DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE ULTÉRIEUR

Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se rapporte à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).

1) SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL

a) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont

propices aux accidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en

présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.

c) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité pendant l’utilisation d’un outil

électrique. Une distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise à l’utilisateur.

2) SÉCURITÉ EN MATIÈRE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ

a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier

la fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un outil électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par l’utilisation de fiches

non modifiées correspondant à la prise.

b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux,

des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau

dans un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.

d) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour

transporter, tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons

endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.

e) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge

convenant à cette application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur réduira les risques de choc électrique.

f) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un outil électrique dans un endroit

humide, brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur réduit les

risques de choc électrique.

3) SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

a) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil

électrique est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention

en utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures corporelles graves.

b) Utiliser des équipements de protection individuelle. Toujours porter une protection

oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection comme un masque antipoussière, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert réduira les risques de blessures corporelles.

c) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer que l’interrupteur se trouve à la

position d’arrêt avant de relier l’outil à une source d’alimentation et/ou d’insérer un bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de transporter l’outil. Transporter un outil électrique alors

que le doigt repose sur l’interrupteur ou brancher un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est à la position de marche risque de provoquer un accident.

d) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de démarrer l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de

réglage attachée à une partie pivotante de l’outil électrique peut provoquer des blessures corporelles.

e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver son équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet de

mieux maîtriser l’outil électrique dans les situations imprévues.

f) S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux.

Garder les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l’écart des pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans les pièces mobiles.

g) Si des composants sont fournis pour le raccordement de dispositifs de

dépoussiérage et de ramassage, s’assurer que ceux-ci sont bien raccordés et utilisés. L’utilisation d’un dispositif de dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers engendrés

par les poussières.

4) UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN D’UN OUTIL ÉLECTRIQUE

a) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil électrique approprié à l’application.

L’outil électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail, de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été conçu.

b) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil

électrique dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et doit être réparé.

c) Débrancher la fiche de la source d’alimentation et/ou du bloc-piles de l’outil

électrique avant de faire tout réglage ou changement d’accessoire ou avant de ranger l’outil. Ces mesures préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de

l’outil électrique.

d) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée des enfants et ne permettre à

aucune personne n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou son mode d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils électriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains

d’utilisateurs inexpérimentés.

e) Entretien des outils électriques. Vérifier si les pièces mobiles sont mal alignées ou

coincées, si des pièces sont brisées ou présentent toute autre condition susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. En cas de dommage, faire réparer l’outil électrique avant toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d’accidents sont

causés par des outils électriques mal entretenus.

f) S’assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et propres. Les outils de coupe bien

entretenus et affûtés sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles à maîtriser.

g) Utiliser l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les forets, etc. conformément aux

présentes directives en tenant compte des conditions de travail et du travail à effectuer. L’utilisation d’un outil électrique pour toute opération autre que celle pour laquelle

il a été conçu est dangereuse.

5) RÉPARATION

a) Faire réparer l’outil électrique par un réparateur professionnel en n’utilisant

que des pièces de rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir une utilisation

sécuritaire de l’outil électrique.

Règles de sécurité spéciﬁ que

• Tenir l’outil par sa surface de prise isolée dans une situation où l’outil de coupe peut entrer en contact avec un câblage caché ou avec son propre cordon d’alimentation.

Tout contact avec un fil « sous tension » mettra « sous tension » les pièces métalliques exposées de l’outil et provoquera un choc électrique chez l’opérateur de l’outil.

• Ne pas poncer de surfaces métalliques de tout type avec la ponceuse. Le ponçage de vis, clous ou autres pièces métalliques produit des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer des particules de poussière.

• Ne pas poncer à l’eau avec la présente ponceuse. Du liquide risque de pénétrer le boîtier du moteur et ainsi provoquer un choc électrique.

• Vider souvent le dépoussiéreur, particulièrement lors du ponçage de surfaces enduites de matières à base de résine comme du polyuréthanne, du vernis, du vernis à la gomme laque, etc. Éliminer les particules de poussière enduites de produit selon les

recommandations du fabricant du fini ou les amasser dans une boîte de métal avec un couvercle bien ajusté. Les retirer des lieux quotidiennement. L’accumulation de particules fines de poussière risque de s’enflammer spontanément et provoquer un incendie.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner cet outil durant de longues périodes. Les vibrations causées par le fonctionnement de cet outil peuvent provoquer des blessures permanentes aux doigts, aux mains et aux bras. Utiliser des gants pour amortir davantage les vibrations, prendre de fréquentes périodes de repos et limiter la durée quotidienne d’utilisation.

• Le ponçage de peinture à base de plomb, de bois traité chimiquement (sous pression) ou tout autre matériau contenant des éléments cancérogènes n’est pas recommandé.

Le ponçage de ces matériaux ne doit être réalisé que par un professionnel.

• Nettoyer l’outil régulièrement, particulièrement après une utilisation intensive. La poussière et les saletés contenant des particules métalliques s’accumulent souvent sur les surfaces internes de l’outil et pourraient constituer un risque de blessure grave, de choc électrique ou d’électrocution. TOUJOURS débrancher la ponceuse avant de procéder au nettoyage. TOUJOURS PORTER DES LUNETTES DE SÉCURITÉ en conformité avec la norme ANSI Z87.1.

• TOUJOURS DÉBRANCHER L’OUTIL AVANT DE CHANGER DE FEUILLES ABRASIVES.

Ces mesures préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de l’outil électrique.

• Prendre des précautions à proximité des évents, car ils cachent des pièces mobiles. Vêtements amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans ces pièces mobiles.

• Pour la sécurité de l’utilisateur, utiliser une rallonge de calibre adéquat (AWG, American Wire Gauge [calibrage américain normalisé des fils électriques]). Plus le calibre est petit, et plus sa capacité est grande. Un calibre16, par exemple, a une capacité supérieure à un calibre18. L’usage d’une rallonge de calibre insuffisant causera une chute de tension qui entraînera perte de puissance et surchauffe. Si plus d’une rallonge est utilisée pour obtenir une certaine longueur, s’assurer que chaque rallonge présente au moins le calibre de
