DOUBLE INSULATED

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire
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.
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user
from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal
insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid
electrical shock.
Servicing of a product 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.

EXTENTION 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 product 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 product , use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with "W-A" or "W" on the cord's jacket. Before
using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed
wires and cut or worn insulation.
MEANING
Indicates a potentially hazard-
ous situation,which, if not
avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazard-

or moderate injury.
(Without Safety Alert Sym-
bol) Indicates a situation that
may result in property dam-
age.

Extension Cord – Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized extension cord will cause a drop in voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and name
plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. To
reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating:
1. Make a knot as shown in Figure A. or
2. Use one of the plug-receptacle retaining straps or
connectors.
