Extension Cords; Voltage And Circuit Protection - Stanley FatMax FMFP70979 Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING: Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to
result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either
flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or when in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and has a
grounding plug (P) similar to the plug illustrated. Only connect the
product to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Do not use an
adapter with this product.

Extension Cords

Using extension cords is not recommended.
The use of extension cords will cause
voltage to drop resulting in power loss to
the motor and overheating.
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, use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug (P), and a 3-slot receptacle (Q)
that accepts the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord
is not damaged. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product draws. For lengths
less than 50 ft (15,2 m), 12 AWG extension cords shall be used. An
undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power

and overheating. (NOTE: Table below shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.)

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Q
Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements
under Specifications.
CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a
P
15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the
compressor 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.
