WARNING
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.
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.
DANGER--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.
This product is intended for household use only.
