Electrical Safety Warnings (Continued)
WARNING:
If the work area is not equipped with a permanently installed Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
outlet (GFCI), use a plug‐in GFCI between the power tool or extension cord and the power receptacle.
WARNING:
If an extension cord is necessary, use only 'Listed' extension cords. If used outdoors, they
must be marked "For Outdoor Use". Those cords having a 3‐prong grounding type plugs and mating receptacles
are to be used with grounded tools.
WARNING:
Use of improper size or gauge of extension cord may cause unsafe or inefficient operation of
your tool, or cause damage to your tool. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow to
the motor. If in doubt, always use a larger gauge cord. Be sure to check the voltage requirements of the tool to
your incoming power source.
NOTE
: The table below shows the correct size to use according to cord length and the amperage draw of
the tool (specified on the nameplate). When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord. (AWG = American Wire Gauge).

Inverter Safety Warnings
WARNING:
Read all the Cautions and Warnings before installing and using the power inverter. The
inverter must be properly installed. If you are not familiar with 12 volt high current wiring, it is recommended that
you have a professional automotive installer install the inverter. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury or death.
WARNING
:
The power inverter generates 115 VAC power from your 12 volt car battery. Treat the 115
VAC output just like you treat the 115 VAC in your house. Keep children away from the unit.
WARNING:
ATD Tools, Inc. does not authorize or recommend this inverter or any related products to be
used with life support devices or systems.
