Grounding Extension Cord
No single list of electrical guidelines can
be comprehensive for all shop environ-
ments. Operating this machinery may
require additional electrical upgrades spe-
cific to your machine and shop environ-
ment. It is your responsibility to make sure
your electrical systems comply with all
local electrical codes and ordinances.
This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to
fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-
rent. This machine is equipped with a power cord
that has an equipment-grounding prong. The out-
let must be properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If you find it absolutely necessary to use an
extension cord while operating this machine on a
110V power source:
• Make sure the cord is rated for Standard
Service (Grade S) or better.
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
• Use a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50 feet long
or less.
• Use a 14 gauge cord if the cord is between 50
and 100 feet long.
We do not recommend the use of extension
cords on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the
placement of your equipment and the installed
wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an
extension cord while operating this machine on a
220V power source:
• Make sure the cord is rated for Standard
Service (Grade S) or better.
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 100
feet long or less.
Electrocution or a fire
can result if the machine
is not grounded correct-
ly. Make sure all electri-
cal circuits are ground-
ed. Do not use the
machine if it is not
grounded.
NOTICE
The wire on the power cord with green or
green and yellow striped insulation is the
grounding conductor.
