6. Do not vacuum anything that is burning, smoking or
smoldering such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.

7. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention.
Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious
injury.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRE­SPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN
NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.

THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

A

B

In the event of an electrical malfunction or short cir­cuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The
motor of this machine is wired for 110V single phase
operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and a 3-prong grounding plug A to fit a grounded
type receptacle B. Do not remove the 3rd prong
(grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall
socket or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used C,
it must be attached to the metal screw of the recep­tacle.

Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some
areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your
electrical outlet, consult a qualified electrician before
proceeding.

C

EXTENSION CORDS

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with
your machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole recep­tacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.

Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage
listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the
correct size extension cord to be used based on cord
length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the
heavier the gauge.

CIRCUIT CAPACITY

Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating
on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qual­ified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse
blows regularly, your machine may be operating on
a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist
and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified
technician or our service department.
