PHASE
If using an extension power cord, make sure the length and wire gauge corresponds to
the requirements listed in TABLE 1 on page 9 . An extension power cord that is too small
in wire gauge (diameter), or too long in length, will cause the motor to overheat and could
cause premature failure.
Do not cover the motor vents. This could lead to motor overheating.
