Reduce the risk of elec-
trocution by keeping all
connections dry and off
the ground. DO NOT
touch plugs with wet
hands. Failure to follow
these warning could
result in serious injury.
No single list of electrical guidelines can
be comprehensive for all shop environ-
ments. Operating this machinery may
require additional electrical upgrades spe-
cific to your machine and shop environ-
ment. It is your responsibility to make sure
your electrical systems comply with all
local electrical codes and ordinances.
This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to
fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-
rent. This machine is equipped with a power cord
having an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
with the Model H3118:
• Make sure the extension cord is weather-
resistant and rated for extra-hard usage
(grade W).
• Make sure the extension cord has a ground
wire and plug pin.
• Use at least a 16 gauge extension cord if the
length is 100' long or less.
• Check with your local electrical code for cor-
rect extension cord gauge when using lengths
over 100'.
