Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances
Your Blower/Vac is double-insulated to give you added safety. In a double insulated
appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means
is provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to
the appliance. Servicing a double insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for
a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double insulated
appliance is marked with the words double insulated or "double insulation". The symbol
(square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
Safety Rules and Instructions: Extension Cords
Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords and can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension
cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be
listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada). If the extension will be used
outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor can also be
used for indoor work.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety,
and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose
or exposed wires, damaged insulation, and defective fittings. Make any needed repairs or
replace the cord if necessary.
To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart below:
