EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground-
ing plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough
to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the let-
ters "WA" or "W" on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed 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.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged re-
place immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical
shock resulting in serious injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool is powered by 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 tool 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 1.
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 tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conduc-
tor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or with-
out yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces-
sary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor
to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin
like the one shown.
