DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS

4. Tools marked "Double Insulated" do not require grounding. They have a special double
insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and
the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)
5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following
illustration. (See Figure B.)
1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use
either a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the 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. (See Figure C.)
