Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. do not
modify the power cord plug
provided with the tool. Never
remove the grounding prong
from the plug. do not use the
tool if the power cord or plug
is damaged. if damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility

and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Labora-
tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electri-
cal Code. (See Outlets for 2-prong
plug.)
2. Double insulated tools may be used
in either of the 120 volt outlets shown
in the preceding illustration. (See
Outlets for 2-prong plug.)

Extension cords

1. Grounded tools require a three wire
extension cord. Double Insulated
tools can use either a two or three
wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet
increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using exten-
sion cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and pos-
sible tool damage.
(See table a.)
3. The smaller the gauge number of the
wire, the greater the capacity of the
cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. (See table a.)
4. When using more than one exten-
sion cord to make up the total length,
make sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required.
(See table a.)
5. If you are using one extension cord
for more than one tool, add the
nameplate amperes and use the sum
to determine the required minimum
cord size. (See table a.)
