DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need
for the usual three-wire 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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power
supply that is 120 V, 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.
GFCI
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.
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.
!
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.

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.
