Safety Information (continued)
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (EXTENSION CORDS)
□
Avoid use of extension cords. If use of an extension
cord cannot be avoided, the cord should be a
minimum wire size of 16 AWG and no longer than
400 ft.
□
Use only a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the product.
□
When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
NOTICE: The manufacturer does not recommend that extensions
cord be used for extended periods of time as it could diminish the
life of your air compressor motor.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
(ELECTRICAL CONNECTION)
This air compressor is powered by a precision built
electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply
that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current).
□
Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC).
A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and the motor will overheat. If the air
compressor does not operate when plugged into an
outlet, double check the power supply.
WARNING: When using an extension cord, keep it 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 air
compressor with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Improperly connecting the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock.
CAUTION: Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
CAUTION: Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
CAUTION: Replace damaged cords/wiring immediately.
Damaged cords/wiring increase the risk of electric shock.
NOTICE: Use longer air hoses instead of long extension cords. Your
air compressor will run better and last longer.
