Extension Cords; Voltage And Circuit Protection - Porter Cable CPFC2TV3525VP Manual De Instrucciones

4. If these grounding instructions
are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the
compressor is properly grounded,
have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.
GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If
it does not fit the available outlet, a
correct outlet should be installed by
a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug
MUST be made by a qualified elec-
trician.

EXTENSION CORDS

Using extension cords is not recom-
mended. The use of extension cords
will cause voltage to drop resulting in
power loss to the motor and overheat-
ing.
Instead of using an extension cord,
increase the working reach of the
air hose by attaching another length
of hose to its end. Attach additional
lengths of hose as needed.
If an extension cord must be used, be
sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-
slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet

Risk of Electrical
Shock. IMPROPER
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG
may also be used. DO NOT USE
14 OR 16 AWG.)
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
be operated on a 15 amp circuit if
the following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply to circuit must
comply with the National Electrical
Code.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs.
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or 15 amp time
delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor
is connected to a circuit protected
by fuses, use only time delay
fuses. Time delay fuses should be
marked "D" in Canada and "T" in
the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot
be met, or if operation of the com-
pressor repeatedly causes interruption
of the power, it may be necessary to
operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is
not necessary to change the cord set.
