DOUBLE
INSULATION
Double insulation
is a concept in safety in electric
power tools, which eliminates
the need for the usual
threewire grounded
power cord. All exposed metal parts
are isolated from the internal metal motor components
with protecting
insulation.
Double insulated tools do not
need to be grounded.
_i
WARNING!
The double insulated system is
intended to protect the user from shock resulting from
a break in the tool's internal insulation.
Observe all
normal safety precautions
to avoid electrical
shock,
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation
requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system
and should be performed
only by a qualified service
technician.
Take the unit to a qualified service dealer
for inspection
and possible repair using only identical
replacement
parts.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built
electric motor. It
should be connected
to a power supply that is 120
volts, AC only (normal household
current), 60 Hz.
Do not operate this product on direct current (DC).
A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat. If your product does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check
the
power supply.
GFCl
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s)
or outlet(s) to be
used for the product.Receptacles
are available
having
built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this
measure of safety.
GUIDELINES
FOR USING EXTENSION
CORDS
USE THE PROPER
EXTENSION
CORD. Make sure
your extension
cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause overheating.
The table below shows
the correct size to use depending
on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
Minimum Gauge for Extension
Cords (AWG)
(when using 120V only)
Ampere Rating
Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
More Than
Not More Than
25' (7.6 m)
50' (15.2 m)
100' (30.4 m)
150' (45.7 m)

Not recommended
Make 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 use.
Keep extension
cords away from sharp objects
excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical
circuit for your tools. This
circuit should comprise a wire of at least 12
gauge and should be protected with a 15 A time-
delayed fuse. Before connecting
the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position
and the electric current is identical to that stamped on
the motor nameplate.
Running at a lower voltage will
damage the motor.
_,
WARNING!
ALTHOUGH
THIS TOOL IS
DOUBLE
INSULATED,
THE EXTENSION
CORD AND
RECEPTACLE
MUST STILL BE GROUNDED
WHILE
IN USE TO PROTECT
THE OPERATOR
FROM
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK,
,_
WARNING!
Check extension
cords before
each use. If damaged replace immediately.
Never use product with a damaged cord since touching
the damaged area could cause electrical
shock
resulting in serious injury.
