USE ONLY 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with
a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and
the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped
on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will
damage the motor.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle
like the one illustrated in Figure A showing a 3-prong
electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor.
If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter
(Figure B) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to
a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter (Figure B)
has a rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected
to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box. THE TEMPORARY ADAPTER SHOULD
BE USED ONLY UNTIL A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CAN
INSTALL A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET. The
Canadian Electrical Code prohibits the use of adapters.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.

This Sander is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or
use in damp locations.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
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 cause overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number
the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and
damp or wet areas.
