Double-Insulated Tools

Double insulation
electric power tools which eliminates the need for the

l
care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician.

POLARIZED PLUGS. Your tool is equipped with
l
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. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not change
the plug in any way.

Extension Cords

Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of

adequate size conductors should be used to pre-
vent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. The table shows the correct size to
use, depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed
extension cords.
