Double Insulated Tools
Double insulation
is a design concept used in
electric power tools which eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system. It is a recognized and approved sys-
tem by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal
OSHA authorities.
●
Servicing of a tool with double insulation
requires care and knowledge of the system
and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician.
●
WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
●
POLARIZED PLUGS. Your tool is equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the out-
let, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not
change the plug in any way.
Extension Cords
●
Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of
damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
●
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors should be used
to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power
or overheating. The table shows the correct size
to use, depending on cord length and name
plate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and
CSA listed extension cords.
