NOTE: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some areas, including
Canada. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts or if the
supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a
qualified electrician before proceeding.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the
amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a
qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly,
your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage
draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and
a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician or our service
department.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use
only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a
matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool's plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor
I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct
size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate
amp rating.
