NOTE: More than 100 feet of extension cord is not
recommended. Use more paint hose, not more
extension cord. Shorter extension cords will assure
maximum electrical power for proper operation.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This
product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper installation of the
grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding
wire and must be connected to grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has
a grounding plug that looks like plug illustrated in Figure 2
(A) below. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Figure 2 (B) and (C), may be used to connect
this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 (B) if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet as shown in Figure 2 (A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug, or the
like extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw.

WARNING
Extension Cord
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. A 14 or 12
gauge cord is recommended.
