when operating this product.
• GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER – (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s)
to be used for this product if you are using an extension
cord. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used.
• DOUBLE INSULATION – This product has double insula-
tion. This means that all external metal parts are insulated
from the electrical supply. This is achieved by introducing
an insulation layer between electrical and mechanical
parts. The double insulation guarantees you the greatest
possible safety.
• EXTENSION CORD – Make sure your extension cord is
in good condition. Use only extension cords having an
electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. An
undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
• POLARIZED PLUGS – To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this product has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This product must be used with a
suitable polarized extension cord. Polarized connections
will fit together only one way. Make sure that the recep-
tacle 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. Do not change the tool plug or
extension cord in any way.
