ELECTRICAL INFORMATIONWARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manualcannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understoodby the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into thisproduct, but must be supplied by the operator.Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage.Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.VOLTAGE WARNINGBefore connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltagesupplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. If one says 120V andthe other says 115V then there will be no complications. Never try to plug a 120V tool into a240V outlet, or the other way around. A voltage greater than that specified on the tool canresult in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug inthe tool.DOUBLE INSULATIONDouble insulated tools are equipped with a polarized two-prong plug (one blade is widerthan the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fullyinto the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to installa polarized outlet. Do not alter or change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminatesthe need for three wire grounded power supply and grounded power cords.EXTENSION CORDSImproper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your tool which canresult in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow tothe motor. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use(signified by “WA” on the jacket).The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tooland the length of the extension cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American WireGauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cordsused does not matter: Total length determines the minimum AWG rating. Every cord mustmeet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is required for yoursituation. Cord length is rated in feet.LENGTH OF CONDUCTOR0-25 FEET26-50 FEET51-100 FEETWIRE SIZE REQUIRED(AMERICAN WIRE GUAGE)120V LINESNO. 16NO. 16NO. 14
