Specific Safety Instructions for Power Cords
• Don’t abuse the cord. Protect the power cord from being walked
on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus. Never carry the apparatus
by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep the cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Pull by plug rather than cord when
unplugging the unit.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are
available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
Extension Cords
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk
of fire and electric shock, and will void warranty.
If an extension cord must be used, make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. 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.

Instrucciones de seguridad específicas
para los cables eléctricos
• No abuse del cable. Proteja el cable de alimentación de ser pisado
o aplastado, especialmente en los enchufes, los receptáculos y el
punto donde salen del aparato. Nunca transporte el aparato por el
cable ni lo jale para desconectarlo del tomacorriente. Mantenga el
cable alejado del calor, el aceite y los bordes afilados. Tire del enchufe
y no del cable al desconectar la unidad.
• La protección del interruptor de corte por falla a tierra (GFCI)
debe aplicarse a los circuitos o los tomacorrientes que se utilizarán.
Hay tomacorrientes con protección GFCI incorporada que pueden
utilizarse para tomar esta medida de seguridad.
Cables de extensión
Un cable de extensión no debe ser utilizada a menos que
absolutamente sea necesario. El uso de un cable de extensión
incorrecta podía dar lugar a un riesgo de fuego y descarga eléctrica,
y anulará la garantía.
Cuando utilice un cable de extensión, asegúrese de que tenga la
capacidad para conducir la corriente que su producto exige. Un cable
de menor capacidad provocará una disminución en el voltaje de la
línea, lo cual producirá una pérdida de potencia y sobrecalentamiento.
La siguiente tabla muestra la medida correcta que debe utilizar según
la longitud del cable y la capacidad nominal en amperios indicada en
la placa. En caso de duda, utilice el calibre inmediatamente superior.
Cuanto menor es el número de calibre, más grueso es el cable.
