electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a
power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in
SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as damage to
the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.
