Extension Cords - Delta 36-465 Instruction Manual

3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 -
250 volts, inclusive:
If the tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. C. The tool
will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. C. Make sure the tool is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If
the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type
of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the
tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE

QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
Use proper extension cords. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type
plug and matching receptacle which will accept the
machine's plug. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the
machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig.
D-1 or D-2, shows the correct gauge to use depending
on the cord length and voltage. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
