Safety, Operation

Extension cords
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more
capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each
individual extension contains at least the minimum
wire size. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.(see page 4).
Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate
marking. As little as 10% lower voltage can cause
loss of power and can result in overheating. All
Exact Tools products are factory-tested; if this tool
does not operate, check the power supply.
WARNING: Accessories must be rated
for at least the speed recommended on
the tool warning label. Accessories running over
rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Accessory ratings must always be above tool speed
as shown on tool nameplate.
DANGER: Avoid contact with the blade
teeth to prevent personal injury
NOTE: When using a generator as power
source it has to be TRUE SINE WAVE
style INVERTER GENERATOR with
minimum power of 2000W / 2.5 kVA.
