plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Gauge) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-
prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s
plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size
must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the
mortiser motor. Refer to Fig.2 for wire length and size.
