this machine must have a ground
prong in the plug to help ensure
that it is grounded. do not remove
ground prong from plug to fit into a
two-pronged outlet! if the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian.

grounding

in the event of an electrical short, ground-
ing reduces the risk of electric shock. the
grounding wire in the power cord must be
properly connected to the grounding prong
on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be
properly installed and grounded. All elec-
trical connections must be made in accor-
dance with local codes and ordinances.

extension cords

to reach the work area, use additional
air hoses instead of extension cords. the
use of extension cord with a compressor
can cause the cords to overheat, catch
fire, or reduce power to the compressor
motor, and cause the compressor motor to
overheat and fail. locate the air compres-
sor where it can be plugged into an outlet
without the use of an extension cord.
