ELECTRICAL
Double Insulation
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be
grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to pro-
tect the user from shock resulting from a break in
the tool's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electrical shock.
Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
authorized service center for repair. Always use original
factory replacement parts when servicing.
Electrical Connection
The random orbit sander has a precision-built electric
motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current).
Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into
an outlet, double-check the power supply.
Extension Cords
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting
in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
descignated with "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

CAUTION:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working
area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught
on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you
are working with a power tool.
