Electrical - Husky F226VWD Operator's Manual

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the product's plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the
power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current that the product will draw. An undersized exten-
sion cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss
of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart
provided below to determine the minimum wire size required
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working with the product outdoors, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed
wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING
Keep the extension cord 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.
WARNING
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use the product with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area could
cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product is powered by a precision-built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60
Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the
product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double
check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this product is approximately 3,450 rpm.
This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with
lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as impor-
tant as the motor's horsepower rating. A line intended only for
lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is
heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater
distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be
able to support two or three products.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
12.1 - 16.0
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
14
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
12
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
—
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Repair
or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
like the one shown in Figure 1. It also has a grounding pin like
the one shown. Only connect the product to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an
adapter with this product.
