5 U.S. GALLONS (18.9 L) AIR COMPRESSOR 058-9308-0
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounding instructions: In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
the path of least resistance for electrical
current in order to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord that has a grounding wire and a
grounding plug (1). The plug must be plugged
into a matching power supply outlet (2) that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances, or a
grounded wall socket, for optimum
performance. The grounding plug has two
flat-blade terminals and a grounding pin.
If the grounding plug does not fit into the outlet, do not try to modify it. Have a qualified electrician
repair the proper outlet.
If the compressor's electrical cord requires repair or replacement, have this done by an authorized,
qualified service technician.
Guidelines for using extension cords
Note: Do not use the extension cord unless it is necessary. It is better to use a longer air hose that
reaches the work area where air is needed.
• Use only a three-wired extension cord that has a three-prong grounding plug that fits into a
three-slot receptacle.
• Ensure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord immediately or have it repaired by a qualified technician.
• Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excess heat and damp or wet areas.
• Using extension cords with inadequately sized wires will cause a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and tool damage. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
extension cord. If in doubt, select the next heavier gauge.
Note: Recycle unwanted materials rather than disposing of them as waste. When the tool is no
longer of use, sort the tool and its components in specific categories and take to the local recycling
center or dispose of them in an environmentally safe way.
