Extension Cords - Delta 36-725 T2 Instruction Manual

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE
NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
This is a grounded, cord-connected tool intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal voltage of 120 volts. It is intended to
for use on a circuit that has an outlet as shown in FIG. A. It has a plug as shown in FIG A. If you have a 2 pole receptacle as shown
in FIG. B you may use a temporary adapter, as shown in FIG. B. if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The green ear lug
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent grounded outlet box. The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Never use a damaged extension cord. Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace immediately.
Touching the damaged area could case electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
Keep the extension cord clear of the work area. Position the cord so it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other
obstructions
• Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug
and matching receptacle which will accept the machine's plug, as described in this manual's Grounding Instructions. 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. The table below shows the maximum gauge to use depending on the cord
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. Only round, jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
