ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your hammer drill has a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts,
60Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will
cause a loss of power and the motor will over heat. If your tool
does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check
the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
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.
Length of Extension Cord Wire Size (A.W.G.)
Up to 25 feet 16
26 to 50 feet 14
51 to 100 feet 12
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters WA on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
CAUTION:
Keep the cord away from the work area and position the
cord so that it may not get caught on materials or other
objects during drilling.
