an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
do not expose compressors to
c.
rain or wet conditions. Water enter-
ing a compressor will increase the
risk of electric shock.
do not abuse the cord. never use
d.
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the compressor. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
if operating a compressor in a

damp location is unavoidable, use
a ground Fault Circuit interrupter
(gFCi) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.

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 over-
heating. Table A shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage.
The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
