Never use an electrical adaptor with this grounded plug.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the air compressor or air tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to deter- mine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an au- thorized service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
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. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom- mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt- age resulting in loss of power and overheating.
