ELECTRICAL
Electrical Connection
The product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only
(normal household current). DO NOT operate this tool on direct
current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and motor will overheat. If the product does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
Extension Cords
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power
source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to
handle the current the tool 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 designated 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.
