NOTE: When using an extension
cord on a circuit with a #14 wire, the
extension cord must not exceed 25 feet
in length. Before connecting the motor
to the power line, make sure the switch
is in the off position and the electric
current is rated the same as the current
stamped on the motor nameplate.
Running at a lower voltage will damage
the motor. This tool is intended for use
on a circuit that has a receptacle like
the one illustrated in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical
plug and receptacle that has a
grounding conductor. If a properly
grounded receptacle is not available,
an adapter (sold separately) (Fig. 2)
can be used to temporarily connect
this plug to a two-contact grounded
receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST
be connected to a permanent earth
ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box.
● In all cases, make certain the
receptacle is properly grounded.
If you are not sure, have a
qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
● This tool is for indoor use only.
Do not expose to rain or use in
damp locations.
● This tool must be grounded while
in use to protect the operator
from electric shock.
● Never remove the grounding
prong from the power cord. If
damaged, discontinue use of unit
and contact customer service for
a replacement cord.
