Extension Cords - Black & Decker FS210LS FireStorm Instruction Manual

It is also necessary to replace the 120 volt plug, supplied with
the motor, with a UL/CSA Listed plug suitable for 240 volts
and the rated current of the saw as illustrated in Fig. C.
Contact your local Authorized Delta Service Center or
qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug.
The saw must comply with all local and national electrical
codes after the 240 volt plug is installed.
The saw with a 240 volt plug should only be connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug illustrated in
Fig. C. No adapter is available or should be used with the 240
Volt plug.

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine's
plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2, shows
the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
