ELECTRIC INSTALLATION
NOTE Only a qualified electrician shall install all electric
NOTE
connections and cables.
The electric setup shall be in accordance with local and national
electric codes.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUNDING
1. Double-check the compressor is connected into a power
outlet with the same configuration and is grounded. If the
installation is not grounded, temporarily use a two-prong
adaptor. To prevent malfunctioning or damage to the
compressor always connect into a grounded installation. In
the event the electric circuit is short, it can be grounded thus
reducing the risk of electric shock because it offers an escape
cable to the electric current. This product is built with and
adequate grounded plug. The plug shall be connected to a
correctly installed and grounded power outlet that complies
with local codes and standards
Wrong use of the grounded plug could cause
WARNING
electric shock.
2. If the unit needs replacing or repairing the cable or plug go
to your nearest TASC.

3. In the event you do not fully understand the connection
instructions or in doubt about the way the unit is connected
see a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug. If it does
not fit into the power outlet call an electrician to make the
adequate connections.
WARNING
1. The electric connection codes vary by location. The feeding
cabling, plug and protectors shall have the same amperage
and power indicated in the motor nameplate. Also, it shall
comply with all the electric codes suitable for these figures.
2. Use a switch or a delay-action fuse.
Not making an adequate connection could cause
WARNING
overheating, electric shock or fire.
Do not connect other power appliances or lights in the
NOTE
same circuit. The circuit is built with a 15 A or a 15 A delay
action fuse.
EXTENSION CABLE GUIDELINES
When using an extension cable, verify the gauge is enough for
the power that your product needs. A lower gauge cable will
cause voltage drop in the line, resulting in power loss and
overheating.
The following table shows the right size to use depending on
cable's length and the ampere capability shown in the tool's
nameplate. If in doubt, use the next higher gauge. The lower the
2
gauge, the heavier the cable will be.
Make sure that your extension cable is properly grounded and in
good shape.

(1) It is safe to use only if the extensions have an over current
protection device.
(2) One of the conductors should be grounded. All conductors
are the same gauge including the one that is grounded.
