Extension Cords - PowerShot 208 Manual De Instrucciones

Extension Cords

Only round jacketed extension cords
should be used and we recommend
that they be listed by Underwriters'
Laboratories (U.L.). An extension cord
must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety, and
to prevent loss of performance. 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. When using more than one
extension cord to make up the total
length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size.
To determine the minimum size
required, refer to the chart below:
Before using an extension cord,
inspect it for loose or exposed wires,
damaged insulation and defective fittings.
Make any needed repairs or replace the
cord if necessary.
Operation
Install wire stand by spreading apart
legs and inserting ends of wire into holes
in sides of gun.
In between applications, use
stand to keep unit upright for good
ventilation. Simply rotate stand forward.
For use, see Figure 3.
NOTE: We recommend placing a
piece of scrap material under nozzle to
prevent damage to surface unit is
resting on.
