Extension Cords; Grounding Instructions; 120 Volt, Single Phase Operation - Delta 36-475 Instruction Manual

EXTENSION C O R D S
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 a 3-hole
receptacle which will accept the tool s p l u g . When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Fig. 72 shows the correct size to use de-
pending on cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
CAUTION: THIS TO O L M U S T B E G R O U N D E D WHILE IN U S E TO P R O T E C T T H E O P E R ATO R F R O M ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a pa t h o f l e a s t r e s i s tance for electric current to reduce
t h e r i s k o f e l e c t r i c s h o c k . The motor is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insula-
tion having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. I f r e pa i r o r
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool s
plug, as shown in Fig. 73.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
120 VOLT
SINGLE P H A S E O P E R ATION
1 . This tool must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock. The motor recommend-
ed for use with your saw is shipped wired for 120 volts
and is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
which looks like the one illustrated in Fig. 73. The tool is
supplied with a three prong grounding type plug which is
a l s o i l l u s t r a t e d i n F i g . 7 3 .
2 . If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temp-
orary adapter, shown in Fig. 74, may be used for con-
necting the 3-prong grounding type plug to a 2-prong
recepta c l e . The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
q u a l i f i e d e l e c t r i c i a n . The green colored rigid ear, l u g , o r
the like extending from the adapter must be connected to
a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place with a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is
not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
