Extension Cords.

Make sure your extension cords is in good condition.
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 over heating.
Table 1 (See Table 1) shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The tool should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock.

The tool is equipped with a three-conductor cord and
three-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper ground­ing-type receptacle.

The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is
the grounding wire.

Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a
live terminal.

If your unit is for use on less than 150V, it has a plug that
looks like that shown in Figure 1.

An adapter (see Figure 3) is available for connecting
Figure 1-Type Plug to 2-prong receptacles.

The green colored rigid grounding strap must be con­nected to permanent ground such as to a properly
grounded outlet box.

the controllers plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.
