Hitachi CB6Y Guidelines for Extension Cords, Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords AWG

Page 6

English

USE ONLY 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Figure A showing a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Figure B) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to

a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter (Figure B) has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box. THE TEMPORARY ADAPTER SHOULD BE USED ONLY UNTIL A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CAN INSTALL A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 cause 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.

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 person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
