Operating Instructions
Before You Start – Electrical
In the event of a malfunction or short circuit, grounding provides the path of least resistance for
electrical current and reduces the risk of electric shock for the operator. This tool is equipped with an
electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor 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.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in increased risk of
electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated. The
original tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated (Figure 2).

Use of Extension Cords
USE ONLY THREE-WIRED EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-prong plugs and 3-holed outlets that
accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Do not use damaged extension
cords. Always replace a damaged extension cord.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use according to the cord length and the amperage draw

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should not be less than a #12 gauge wire,
and should be protected with a 15 A time-lag fuse or breaker. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, ensure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor’s nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor and this
damage is not covered by warranty.
