WARNING: Keep the extension
cord clear of the working area. Position
the cord so it will not get caught on the
workpiece, tools, or any other obstructions
while you are working with the power tool.
Make sure any extension cord used with
this tool is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use
one of heavy enough gauge to carry the
current the tool will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
The table at right shows the correct size
to use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly
wired and in good condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from
sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your
power tools. This circuit must not be less
than 14-gauge wire and should be
protected with either a 15 A time delayed
fuse or circuit breaker.
Before connecting the power tool to the
power source, make sure the switch is in
the OFF position and the power source is
the same as indicated on the nameplate.
Running at lower voltage will damage the
motor
