When working with the appliance outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Posi- tion the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a brush cleaner motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one brush cleaner may not be able to support two or three appliances.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This brush cleaner is equipped with an electric cord having an
danger:
Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire. When repair or replacement of the cord is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the ground- ing instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in fig- ure 1. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If dam- aged replace immediately. Never use product with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
Electrical Connection
This product is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The
APPLIANCE LEAKAGE CURRENT INTER- RUPTER DEVICE (alci)
See Figure 1, page 8.
This unit is equipped with an Appliance Leakage Current Interrupter (ALCI), which guards against the hazards of ground fault currents.
ALCI plugs do not protect against short circuits, overloads, or shocks.
NOTE: To ensure readiness for use, press the reset button each time you connect the product to the power supply.
The ALCI plug can be tested with the TEST and RESET buttons.
To test:
Depress the TEST button. This should cause the Reset button to pop out.
To restore power, depress the RESET button.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the ALCI.
