Double Insulation

AN IMPORTANT CONSUMER FEATURE

Your tool is double insulated to give you added safety. This means that it is constructed
throughout with two separate “layers” of electrical insulation or one double thickness of
insulation between you and the toolʼs electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, the
extension cord used with your tool can be plugged into any conventional 120 volt electrical
outlet without concern for maintaining a ground connection.

NOTE:

Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when

operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from
a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

CAUTION:

When servicing double insulated tools, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT

PARTS. Replace or repair damaged cords.

Polarized Plug

This product is supplied with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other ). This plug
will fit into a polarized outlet (receptacle) only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into your
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper
polarized outlet. Do not modify or change this plug in any way.

Extension Cords

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 line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
