EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground-
ing plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the product's
plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance
from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough
to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working with the product outdoors, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters "W-A" or "W" on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If
damaged replace immediately. Never use the
product with a damaged cord since touching
the damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product is powered by a precision-built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC
only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate
this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage
drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
If the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this product is approximately
13,500 rpm. This speed is not constant and decreases
under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring
in a shop is as important as the motor's horsepower rating.
A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry an air
compressor motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short
distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that
can support one power tool may not be able to support two
or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with an electric cord having an
14
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
12
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
—
and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
Improper installation of the grounding plug is liable
to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or
replacement of the cord 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 service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit and has
a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 1,
page 16. Only connect the product to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adaptor with
this product.
