CAUTION
Before powering or starting, check for damage that could prevent this equipment from proper operation
or performing its intended function. Check for binding and alignment of moving parts. Check for damaged,
broken or missing parts.
Verify the trigger switch-locking button is in the RELEASE position.
Before connecting the PX-3 to a power supply, be sure the voltage, cycle and phase of the job site power
source meet the following requirements:
If using an extension power cord, make sure the length and wire gauge corresponds to the requirements
listed in the table on page 9. An extension power cord that is too small in wire gauge (diameter), or too long
in length, will cause the motor to overheat and could cause premature failure.
DO NOT cover the motor vents. This could lead to motor overheating.
