wire cOnnectiOn:

Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt

as to whether the outlet is

properly grounded. do not

modify the power cord plug

provided with the tool. never

remove the grounding prong

from the plug. do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug

is damaged. if damaged, have

it repaired by a service facility

before use. if the plug will not

fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

double insulated tools: tools

with two prong plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do

1.

not require grounding. They have

a special double insulation system

which satisfies OSHA requirements

and complies with the applicable

standards of Underwriters Labora-

tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard

Association, and the National Electri-

cal Code.

(see Outlets for 2-prong

plug.)
Double insulated tools may be used

2.

in either of the 120 volt outlets shown

in the preceding illustration.

(see

Outlets for 2-prong plug.)

Grounded

tools require a three wire

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 exten-

sion cords with inadequately sized

wire causes a serious drop in voltage,

resulting in loss of power and pos-

sible tool damage.

(see table a.) The smaller the

gauge number of the wire, the greater

the capacity of the cord. For ex-
