DOUBLEINSULATION
Double insulationis a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual_ree-wim
grounded power cord, All exposed metal parts are
Isolated from the Internalmetal motor componentswith
protecting{nsu[ation.Double insulatedtools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulatedsystem is
intended to protect the user from shock resulting
from a breakin the tool's Internal Insulation.Observe
all normarsafety precautionsto avoid electdca{
shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulationrequires
extreme cam and knowledge of the system and should
be performed onlyby a qualifiedservice technician. For
service,we suggestyou returnthe tool to your nearest
authorized service center for repair.Always use original
factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This tool has a precision-builtelectric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz,
AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on direct current (PC). A substantialvoltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor w(ll overheat. If
your tool does not operate when plugged Into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION
CORDS
When usinga powertool at a considerabledistance from
a power source, be sure to use an extensioncord that has
the capacity to handle the currentthe toolwilt draw.An
undersizedcord will cause a drop In line voltage, resulting
in overheatingand loss of power. Use the chart to deter~
mine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord.
Only roundJacketedcordslisted by Underwdter'sLabora-
tories(UL.)should be used.
When working outdoorswith _ too_, use _n extension c_rd
_h_t _s_ealg_ed fo_outside use. Th_s'oJpeof cord is des-
igneted with "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before us'=ng any extension cord, inspect it tor loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn Insulation.
