Wagner SprayTech 505 owner manual Extension Cord, Grounding Instructions

Extension Cord

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord 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 overheating. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is recommended.

NOTE: More than 100 feet of extension cord is not recommended. Use more paint hose, not more extension cord. Shorter extension cords will assure maximum electrical power for proper operation.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like plug illustrated in Figure 2

(A)below. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 2 (B) and (C), may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 (B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet as shown in Figure 2 (A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
