WARNING: YOUR AIR MOVER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP. BRANCH
CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM
SHOCK OR FIRE.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your Air Mover is
ready to run for 120V operation. This Air Mover
is intended for use on a circuit that has an
grounded outlet and a grounded plug which
looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
GROUNDING
This Air Mover must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This Air Mover
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER
GROUNDING OF YOUR AIR MOVER, DO
NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE PLUG
GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are
not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS AIR MOVER CAN CAUSE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID
SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE
IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ONLY USE GFCI PROTECTED RECEPTACLES.
EXTENSION CORDS
It is not recommended to use an extension cord, but if it is unavoidable, use the proper
AWG caliber rating and the shortest extension cord possible. The use of any extension
cord will cause some loss of power. Use the chart in Fig.2 to determine the minimum wire
size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord. Use only extension cords which
accept the tool's plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be
increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. Refer to Fig.2 for
wire length and size.
