Harbor Freight Tools 33684 Operation, Grounding Instructions, Voltage Warning, Extension Cords

Operation

1.Never force the tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. It is designed to do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.

2.Do not carry the tool by its power cord.

3.Always unplug the cord by the plug. Never yank the cord out of the wall.

4.Always turn off the machine before unplugging.

IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION ABOUT A CONDITION BEING SAFE OR UNSAFE, DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL!

Check to see if your tool has a two or three- prong plug. If your tool has a two-prong plug, you may proceed past the next paragraph. If your tool has a three-prong plug, please continue reading the following precautions and instruc- tions.

If the tool or machine has a three-prong plug, the third (round) prong is the ground. Plug this cord only into a three-prong receptacle. Do not attempt to defeat the protection the ground wire provides by cutting off the round prong. Cutting off the ground will result in a safety hazard and void the warranty.

Extension Cords

If your tool is double insulated and has a two-prong plug, you may use either a two or three-prong extension cord. If your tool has a grounded, three-prong plug, you must use a three-prong extension cord with three-prong receptacles. Only use rounded jacket extension cords listed by the Under- writers Laboratories (UL). If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the 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 determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used does not matter. Total length determines the minimumAWG rating. Every cord must meet theAWG rating. Use the chart below to determine whatAWG rating is required for your situation. Cord length is rated in feet. Harbor Freight Tools can supply UL listed and outdoor rated extension cords in multipleAWG ratings if needed.
