Extension Cords - Craftsman 320.19730 Operator's Manual

ELECTRICAL SAFETY cent°
1 Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one binds is wider
than the other).Thts plug wH! fit in a polarized outlet only one way, If the plug
does not tit futiy in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does nol lit+ contact a qualified
etectrfcian to inslalI a polarized culler. De net change the plug in any way
2 Doubts insuIation D eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power
cord and grounded powet suppty system AppIicable only to Class II (double+Insulated)
lools.
' _ WARNING:
Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool..
3+ BEFORE plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the culler voilage suppfied }s within the
voltage marked on the tool's data plate. DO NOT use "AC onty'+ rated 1eels with a DC
power supply
4. AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators There is an increased risk of etectric shock it your body is grounded
5 DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools in wet
or damp iocations_ Water entering a power loci will increase the risk of electric shock
6 INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at a Sear
Service Canter_ BE SURE to stay constanlly aware o! the cord location and keep
It welf away from the moving router.
7 DO NOT abuse the cord_ NEVER use the cord to carry the toot by eric pull the
plug from the outlet., Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving pads..
Replace damaged cords immediately Damaged cords increase the risk of electdc sl_eck.,
EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord° ONLY use cords listed by Underwrilers Laboratories {UL}
Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a toss of power and
overheating o! tool For this toot an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of at least 14-(jauge
is recommended [er an extension cord of 25-1t+ or less in length. Use 12-gauge [or an
extension cord o! 50-It. Extension cords 100-ft+ or longer are not recommended_
Remember+ a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than a larger number
(14_auge wire has more capacity than t6<Jauge wire; 12_jauge wtre has more capacity
than t 4-(:jauge). When tn doubt use 1he smaIlar number. When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W+A" or "W'L These cords are rated
lor outdoor usa and reduce the risk of electric shock.
_CAUTtON:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area., Position the
cord so that tt will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you
are working with a power tool
