personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not use any type of adapter with this product. If repair or replacement of
the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat

breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. The

1. SENCO® DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS as this can create power
loss and overheating of the motor. Use of an additional air hose is recommended rather than an
extension cord. If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it should be plugged into a GFCI found in
circuit boxes or protected receptacles.
When using an extension cord, observe the following:
Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use
damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not
abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and
sharp edges. Always shut off the air compressor switch before removing the plug from the receptacle.
