ELECTRICAL SET UP

Your compressor has a grounded, three-prong plug. If using an extension cord, it must be a three-prong type. You must connect to a three-prong receptacles only. The third prong is for grounding; do not remove or disable the third prong, as this will create an unsafe condition.

Common household current is 110-120 Volts. As long as your compressor is rated from 110- 120 Volts, there will be no complications in using power from a household receptacle. Never try to plug

atool designed for 110-120 Volts into a 220-240 Volt receptacle. 220V plugs and outlets are shaped differently to prevent this.

Only use rounded jacket extension cords, preferably listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL). Make sure the cord is rated for outdoor use, even if your application is indoors. Outdoor use

cords have the letters “WA” on the cord jacket.

The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the extension cord. The size is signified by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating; the smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity.

Note: When using extension cords - To avoid circuit breaker and voltage drop problems when using extension cords, we recommend using only

12 gauge x 50 foot extension cords (Item #41444 or #45287), available from Harbor Freight Tools).
