Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use on an extension cord with this product as
this may result in the loss of power and overheating of the motor. An
additional air hose should be used instead of an extension cord. However,
if the use of an extension cord is unavoidable, use only UL listed wire
extension cords that have three-pronged grounding type plugs and three
prong receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Improper use of extension
cords may cause inefficient operation of you tool, which can result an
overheating.
Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient flow to motor.
Refer to the guide for minimum gauge required for extension cords.
Use of an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current the tool will
draw is very important. Especially when the power source is of great
distance. An extension cord that is insufficient will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in power loss and causing the motor to overheat.
Guard against electrical shock. Avoid body contact with grounded ser-
vices such as pipes, radiators, ovens, stoves, and refrigerator enclosures.
If not properly grounded, this power tool can incur the potential hazard of
light trickle shock, particularly when used in damp locations. If an electri-
cal shock occurs, there is the potential of a secondary hazard such as
your hands contacting an operating air tool.
