2. Substitution of the signal word "DANGER" for "WARNING"
is not prohibited when the risk associated with the product is
such that a situation exists which if not avoided will result in
death or serious injury. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman when the grounding instructions are not com-
pletely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the prod-
uct is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if
it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
3. This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has
a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in the fig-
ure. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this
product.
4. When the product must be reconnected for use on a different
type of electric circuit, the reconnection shall be made by
qualified service personnel.
5. Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified
electrician.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• A 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on product.
• In good condition.
• Plug is not worn.
• No longer than 50 feet (15.2 m).
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge num-
ber decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO
NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
NOTICE: The use of an undersized extension cord will cause
voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and
overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the
working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of
hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed.
Always use a minimum 3/8" (9.5 mm) or greater air hose rated at
300 PSI.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit
Requirements under Specifications.
CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 Amp circuit
if the following conditions are met:
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National
Electrical Code.
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• Circuit is equipped with a 15 Amp circuit breaker or 15 Amp
time delay fuse, marked "D" or "T".
