VOLTAGE WARNING

Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage

suppliedis about the same asthat specified on the nameplateof the tool. If one says 120V andthe

othersays110Vthenthere will be nocomplications.Never try to pluga110V tool into a220Voutlet,

or the other way around. The plug and outlet have completely different shapes. This is because a

power source with a voltage greater than that specified on the tool can result in a SERIOUS

INJURY to the user— as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL.

Using a power source with voltage (110V) less than the nameplate rating (220V) is harmful to the

motor.

EXTENSION CORDS

If your tool is double insulated and has a two-prong plug, you may use either a two- or

three-prong extension cord. If your tool has a grounded, three-prong plug, you must use a three-

prong extension cord with three-prong receptacles. Only use rounded jacket extension cords,

preferablylisted by the UnderwritersLaboratories (UL). Make surethe cord is ratedfor outdoor use

if you plan on using the tool outside; if you plan on indoor use, you may also use an outdoor rated

cord. Extension cords rated for outdoor use have the letters “WA” on the cord jacket.

Theextension cord must have aminimum wire size depending on the amperage ofthe tool

and the length of the extension cord. This size is signified by its AWG (American Wire Gauge)

rating; the smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. If you are using two or more cords,

the total length of the combined cords must be used to determine the minimumAWG rating. Each

of the cords used must meet this rating.

The chart below is used to determine the rating required according to the length of the

cord(s). The amps of your tool are found either in this manual, or on the nameplate of the tool.

Always inspect extension cords for any damage. If there are any loose, frayed or exposed wires,

damaged insulation, or defective connections, replace the cord. Harbor Freight Tools can supply

UL listed and outdoor rated cords in multipleAWG ratings if needed.
