EXTENSION CORDS
Be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to
handle the current the product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and
loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire
size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
A proper extension cord is available at an authorized service
center.
If two extension cords are needed, knot them together to
prevent them from becoming disconnected during use. Make
the knot as shown in figure 1, then connect the plug end of
once extension cord into the receptacle end of the other.

WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lum-
ber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working
with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use the product with a dam-
aged cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product is powered by a precision-built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
See Figure 1, page 12.
This product must be grounded. 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 product is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a 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.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
Improper installation of a grounded plug increase the
risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is required, take the tool to an authorized
service center.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has a
grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 1. Only
connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
