6) The Floor Grinder utilizes a factory supplied extension

cord equipped with an integral GFI device. The GFI

device is intended to protect both the operator and

electric motor in the event a ground fault is developed

during operation. The extension cord is 37 foot (11 m)

long, fabricated from 12 AWG wire and incorporates

a NEMA 5-15P plug and a NEMA L5-15R twist lock

receptacle. The twist lock feature allows the extension

cord to be pulled by the Floor Grinder without becoming

disconnected.

BEFORE USE, PROPERLY INSPECT THE

EXTENSION CORD AND WIRING DEVICES FOR

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. DO NOT UTILIZE A

CORD WITH A WORN OR CUT OUTER JACKET

MATERIAL. DO NOT UTILIZE A CORD THAT HAS

BEEN REPAIRED WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE. DO

NOT UTILIZE A CORD WITH A CRACKED AND/

OR DAMAGED GFI CASE. USE OF AN EXTENSION

CORD OF IMPROPER STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

AND/OR DAMAGED GFI CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY

DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING, INCLUDING EXTENSION

CORD GAUGE WIRE SIZE AND/OR LENGTH,

MUST BE INSTALLED AND/OR APPROVED IN

ACCORDANCE TO LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES

AND PRACTICES.AN IMPROPER WIRING

INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY

DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

7) Determine that the power source receptacle to be

utilized is properly grounded. This can be accomplished

with proper testing equipment and procedures. If there

are any questions regarding the suitability of a specific

power receptacle, contact your dealer or our Customer

Service Department for assistance bEFoRE utilizing

the Floor Grinder. There is no charge for this service.

8) If additional extension cord length is required for

a specific job application, an additional extension

cord can be utilized in conjunction with an external

GFI. Plug the receptacle of the additional extension

cord into the factory supplied GFI. Plug the ground

fault circuit interrupter into a separate power source

receptacle. Connect the extension cord plug into the

external GFI. This configuration will allow any fault over

the length of a defective extension cord to be indicated.

Extension cord gauge size and length must conform to

National Electric Code standards.

FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST A FAULT,

ALWAYS CONFIGURE A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT

INTERRUPTER TO BE PLUGGED INTO THE POWER

SOURCE RECEPTACLE. A CONFIGURATION WITH

THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER

PLACED BETWEEN THE FLOOR GRINDER AND

THE POWER SOURCE RECEPTACLE WILL NOT

AFFORD MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST A

POTENTIAL FAULT.

9) Couple the NEMA L5-15R receptacle of the factory

supplied extension cord and the NEMA L5-15P plug

located on the Floor Grinder together. Twist to lock.

FIGuRE 15. Connect the GFI to the power source

receptacle. Determine that the reset switch is in its

proper position to activate the GFI.
