WARNING
The tool must be grounded while in use to prevent
electrical shock.
• Plug the tool into a properly grounded outlet or receptacle as shown in
example A. Not all outlets or receptacles are properly grounded; if you are
unsure, check with a qualified electrician.
• If the outlet you plan to use for your tool is a 2-prong (2-hole) type, DO
NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUND CONDUCTOR OF YOUR PLUG
FOR ANY REASON. Use a temporary adapter as shown in example B and
always connect the earthing conductor as indicated.
CAUTION
When using an extension cord, make sure to use a wire
gauge sufficient to carry the current your tool will consume. A lower gauge
wire will cause voltage drops in the line, resulting in power loss and motor
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
the cable length and amperage capacity indicated on the tool's data plate. If
in doubt, use the next higher gauge.
CAUTION
The connection to the power source must be carried out
by a professional electrician, following the electrical diagram on the right.
CAUTION
Use a separate electrical circuit for the pump. This circuit
should not have conductors with a gauge lower than 12 AWG and must be
protected by a time-delay 20 A fuse. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure that the voltage is the same as indicated on the
motor's data plate. Operating at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
CAUTION
: The power cables are color-coded as follows:
Ampere
Capacity
From 0 A and up to 10 A
From 10 A and up to 13 A
From 13 A and up to 15 A
From 15 A and up to 20 A
WARNING
When using power tools outdoors use a
Use". These extension cables are specially manufactured for outdoors use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
