UL GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS

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 overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and

nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Make 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/wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected

with a 15 A time-delayed 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.

WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
