Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
warnIng - Improper installation of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat
blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green
outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and
must be connected to the grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt
as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make
sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this
product.

Important Electrical Information
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
product. 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. A 14 gauge or 12 gauge cord
is recommended. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors,
it must be marked with the suffix W-A after the cord type
designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would
indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.
Wagner Spray Tech accessory extension cords recommended:
P/N 0090241
20 foot extension cord
P/N 0090242
35 foot extension cord
IMPORTANT: Household use only.
