MOTOR
Always check the nameplate to ensure the A.C.
current supply is the correct voltage for your
machine.
This tool will operate on voltage within plus or
minus 5 percent of that shown on the
specification plate on the tool. Refer to the
specification plate on your tool for proper voltage
and current rating.
Do not operate your tool on a current on which
the voltage is not within correct limits.
If an extension cord is used, make sure the
conductor size is large enough to prevent
excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of
power and possible motor damage.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it
must be marked with the suffix WA or W following
the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-
A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Always choose the shortest possible cord.
