ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, where two systems of insulation are pro-
vided. This 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.

WARNING: 

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from electric shock resulting 

from a break in the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical 
shock.

1. REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. 
NOTE:  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 bringing the product to you near-
est authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

2. POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This 
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still 
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. 

3. SERVICE AND REPAIR. To avoid danger, electrical appliances must only be repaired by qualified service tech-
nician using original replacement parts; otherwise this may result in considerable damage to the user. 

WARNING: 

To avoid electrocution, do not use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS 

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An 
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows 
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier 
cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. 

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord 
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.  Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive 
heat and damp/wet areas. 

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected 
with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF 
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a 
lower voltage will damage the motor.
