Use and Care Manual

17
If an extension cord
is necessary, a cord
with adequate size conductors that
is capable of carrying the current
necessary for your tool must be
used. This will prevent excessive
voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use
3-wire extension cords that have 3-
prong plugs and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number,
the higher the cord capacity
The length of the dust extractor cord
must be included in calculating the
total length of cord.
