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 ap-
proved system 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 RE-
PLACEMENT PARTS.
• POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of elec-
trical shock, 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 outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to in-
stall the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of elec-
trical 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 ade-
quate size conductors should be used to prevent ex-
cessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating.
The table shows the correct size to use, depending
on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of
tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always
use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
RECOMMENDED SIzES Of ExTENSION
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
