ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
overheating. The table below 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.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualied
person before use. Keep extension cords away from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should comprise a
wire of at least 12 gauge 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 identical to that stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
