GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electdc cord that has an equipment.
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFYTHE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
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 electric cord or plug is necessary,
DO NOT connect the equipment groundingconductor to
a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel it
you do not completelyunderstandthe groundinginstructions,
or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE
RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
This tool is intended for use on a cimuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A
RGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle
that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded
receptacle is not available, an adapter (FIGURE B) can
be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact
ungrounded receptacle. The adapter (FIGURE B) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a
permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box. THE TEMPORARY ADAPTER SHOULD
BE USED ONLY UNTIL A PROPERLY GROUNDED
OUTLET CAN BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits
the usa of adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in
question is propedy grounded. If you are not sure have a
certified electriciancheck the receptacle.
This ddll press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to
rein or use in damp locations.

GUIDELINES
FOR EXTENSION
CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will drew. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.The table below shows
the correct size to usa according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating.If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number,the heavierfile cord.

Adapter
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools.This cimuit
must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before connectingthe motor
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the "OFF"
position and the electdc current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
