SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Service your power tool periodically. When cleaning a tool, be careful not to disassemble
any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.
WARNING
:
Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions
before using this equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the
power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords
with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible
tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a
14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one
extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire
size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
•
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
•
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical 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 or wet areas.
