If the power cord will not fit into the wall plug, an approved adapter can be used as
long as it is connected to the center screw in the wall plate.

Extension cords, if used, must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug on one and a
3-hole receptacle on the other.

Extension cords must be UL listed and use a minimum of 18 A.W.G. wiring. Extension
cords should never exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a
voltage drop over the extra distance causing the grinder motor to run slower with the pos-
sibility of causing damage to the motor. Using extension cords with smaller than the rec-
ommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melting, and/or causing fires. See

The electrical power source for this band saw
MMUUSSTT
be grounded in order prevent
possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or breakdown.
Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus reducing the
risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum 20A service
and not used if other power tools on the same circuit are in use.
This band saw is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with a 3-prong plug.
