Extension Cords
DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD
LONGER THAN 50 FT
Use of an extension cord is not recommended. Use of a longer air
hose is preferred as the compressor will run better.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs
and 3-pole receptacles. When using the compressor at a considerable
distance from power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to
carry the current that compressor will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
could cause the motor to overheat.
Use chart provided below to determine minimum wire size required for an
extension cord. Only round jacketed cords with a UL listing should be used.
When operating the compressor outdoors, use an extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
When using an extension cord, keep it clear of the working area.
Position cord so that it will not get caught on any obstructions while
you are working. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace
immediately. Never use compressor with a damaged cord— the
damaged area of the cord could cause electrical shock.
