Speed and Wiring, Grounding Instructions

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of the electric motor varies by model and specification. The motor speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring

in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

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 air compressor is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment- grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment- grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in

doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in Figure 1. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same con- figuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
