USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size

extension cords with the tool - that _s,proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy

enough to carry the current the tool wilt draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop

in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart

below.

MOTOR

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your

toot will operate on standard 60 Hz householdpower.

Do not operate AC tools on DC. A

rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that you toot will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC

power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage wilt cause bossof power

and can result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this toot does

not operate, check the power supply.
