EXTENSION CORDS
See Figure 1.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with "WA" or "W" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a
knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during
use. Make the knot as shown in figure 1, then connect the
plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the
extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two
extension cords together.

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.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use the product with a dam-
aged cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is nominal 120V/60Hz
AC (typical U.S. household circuit). 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 product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The speed is not constant and decreases under a load
or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop
is as important as the motor's horsepower rating. A line
intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power
tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance
will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can
support one power tool may not be able to support two
or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
See Figure 2.
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 product is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
14
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
12
and ordinances.
—
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
Improper installation of a grounded plug increase the
risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is required, take the tool to an authorized
service center.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has a
grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 2. Only
connect the product to an outlet having the same configura-
tion as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
