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.

To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart:

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
