InStRuctIonS:
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never
remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not
use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If
damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before
use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounding
Pin
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have
a three wire cord and three prong grounding
plug. The plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
(See
3-Prong Plug and outlet.)
2.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the
cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s
grounding system and must never be attached to
an electrically “live” terminal.
(See 3-Prong Plug
and outlet.)
3.
The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the preceding illustration.
(See 3-Prong Plug and outlet.)
4.
This pump is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated above in
125 v~ 3-Prong Plug and outlet. The pump has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
above in
125 v~ 3-Prong Plug and outlet.
5.
The outlet must be properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances.
6.
Do not use an adapter to connect this pump to a
different outlet.
extension cords
1.
Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two
or three wire extension cord.
2.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss
of power and possible tool damage.
(See table a.)
3.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a
14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord.
(See table a.)
4.
When using more than one extension cord to
make up the total length, make sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
(See table a.)
5.
If you are using one extension cord for more than
one tool, add the nameplate
amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
(See table a.)
6.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7.
Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualified electrician before using it.
8.
Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
