DEWALT does not recommend the use of extension cords as this
can create power loss and overheating of the motor. Use of an
additional air hose is recommended rather than the extension cord. If
use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it should be plugged into a
GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. When using an
extension cord, observe the following.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and 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. Make sure that the
electrical circuit to which the compressor is connected provides proper
electrical grounding, correct voltage and adequate fuse protection.
Do not modify plug provided: if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green 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.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs
and 3-pole receptacles.

rating less than 150 volts: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure A.The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A.
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figures
