double Insulated tools: tools with

two prong plugs

Outlets for 2-prong plug

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not

1.

require grounding. They have a special

double insulation system which satisfies

OSHA requirements and complies with

the applicable standards of Underwriters

Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian

Standard Association, and the National

Electrical Code.
Double insulated tools may be used in

either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the

preceding illustration.

(See Outlets for

2-prong plug.)

extension Cords

Grounded

1.

tools require a three wire

extension cord. Double Insulated

tools can use either a two or three wire

extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet

2.

increases, you must use a heavier gauge

extension cord. Using extension cords

with inadequately sized wire causes a

serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss

of power and possible tool damage.

(See table A.)
The smaller the gauge number of the

3.

wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.

For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry

a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See table A.)
When using more than one extension

4.

cord to make up the total length, make

sure each cord contains at least the

minimum wire size required.

(See table

A.)
If you are using one extension cord for

5.

more than one tool, add the nameplate

amperes and use the sum to determine

the required minimum cord size.

(See

table A.)
If you are using an extension cord

6.

outdoors, make sure it is marked with the

suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it

is acceptable for outdoor use.
