Grounding
WARNING Improperlyconnecting the grounding wire can result in electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Extension Cords
1.Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
2.As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using exten- sion cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (See Table A.)
3.The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)
4.When using more than one exten- sion cord to make up the total length,
make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See
Table A.)
5.If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the name- plate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.)
6.Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
