IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is
the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do
not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you
are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged
grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must
not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a
2.1 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the
electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the
motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS USE THE PROPER
EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and
burning out of the motor. The table below shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it
repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.

WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or use in damp locations.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle
like the one illustrated in Fig. B . Fig. B shows a three-pronged
electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor.
If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter

(Fig. C) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-
contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig. C) has a rigid
lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a permanent
earth ground, such as a properly grounded receptacle box.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.
