SYMBOLS
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their
definitions are as follows:
V..................volts
Hz................hertz
min ..............minutes
............direct current
................Class I Construction
(grounded)
................Class II Construction
(double insulated)
• 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 a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
