2. Press the TEST button. The GFCI indicator light will go out and power
to the machine should cut off.
3. WARNING! If the light does not go out when test button is pushed,
equipment should not be used until proper repairs can be made.
4. To restore power after test, push the reset button. WARNING! If the
machine doesn't start, stops while running, or if you experience a mild
shock, do not use the machine. Have it repaired or replaced by a licensed
electrician.
Note: The Power Cord is not GFCI protected from the GFCI unit to the 3-
prong plug in the electrical 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 on page 7.)
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.
