Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, ground- ing reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding wire in the power cord must be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and grounded. All elec- trical connections must be made in accor- dance with local codes and ordinances.

Extension Cords

To reach the work area, use additional air hoses instead of extension cords. The use of extension cord with a compressor can cause the cords to overheat, catch fire, or reduce power to the compressor motor, and cause the compressor motor to overheat and fail. Locate the air compres- sor where it can be plugged into an outlet without the use of an extension cord.

This machine must have a ground prong in the plug to help ensure that it is grounded. DO NOT remove ­ground prong from plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electri- cian.
