EXTENSION C O R D S

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pole receptacle which will accept the tool s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the air cleaner.An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. 10 shows the correct gage to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The Air Cleaner is equipped with an in-line rocker switch
