ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized plug 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 a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way.
Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three-wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering the power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tools or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outside,
use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Make sure your extension cord is the
proper size.
When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current the tool 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 use according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly
wired and in good condition.
Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from
sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your
power tools.
This circuit must not be less
than 14 gauge wire and should be
protected with either a 15A time delay fuse
or circuit breaker. Before connecting the
power tool to the power source, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the
power source is the same as indicated on
the nameplate. Running at lower voltage
will damage the motor.
WARNING:
Repair or replace
damaged or worn extension cords
immediately.
Select the appropriate extension cord
gauge
and length using the chart below.
