ELECTRICAL SAFETY
(EXTENSION CORDS)
1.
Only use 3-wire extension cords
that have a 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the products plug. When
using a power tool at a consider-
able distance from the power
source, use an extension cord
heavy enough to carry the current
that the product will draw. An
undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in the line voltage,
resulting in a loss of power and
causing the motor to overheat.
2.
Use the chart provided below to
determine the minimum wire size
required in a extension cord.
3.
When operating a power tool
outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked "W-A" or "W". these
-
cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
4.
When using an extension cord,
keep it clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not
get caught on lumber, tools, or
other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure
to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
