EXTENSION CORD
. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure it is
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 following
table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord.
WARNING:
Use out door extension cords marked SW

A. These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
DOUBLE INSULATION
—Double Insulation is a concept in
safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for
the usual three
-
wire 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.
NOTE:
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.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and
power cord in a knot to prevent them from
becoming disconnected during use. Make
the knot as shown, then connect the plug
end of the power cord into the receptacle
end of the extension cord,. This method can also be used to
tie two extension cords together.
POLARIZED PLUGS
—To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable
polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized
connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the
receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small
blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit obtain a
suitable extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully
into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in
any way.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
– Before further use of the tools,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
