EXTENSION CORD SAFETY
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.
1. 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.
2. The table below 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
