Servicing of Double Insulated
Appliances
Your Blower/Vac is double-insulated to
give you added safety. In a double insulated
appliance, two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding
be added to the appliance. Servicing a double
insulated appliance requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system and should
be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they
replace. A double insulated appliance is marked
with the words double insulated or "double
insulation". The symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the appliance.
Safety Rules and Instructions:

Extension Cords

Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords
and can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire
extension cords. Only round jacketed
extension cords should be used, and
we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A.
in Canada). If the extension will be used
outside, the cord must be suitable for
outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor
can also be used for indoor work.
An extension cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety, and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. Before using
an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires, damaged insulation, and
defective fittings. Make any needed repairs
or replace the cord if necessary.

Safety Rules and Instructions:

Polarized Plug

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This equipment
must be used with a suitable polarized 2
wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized
connections will fit together only one way.
Make sure that the receptacle end of the
extension cord has large and small blade
slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into
the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension
cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully
into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change
the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
