Double Insulated Tools

Tools marked with the words "Double Insulated"
are equipped with a two prong plug.These tools
have a special insulation system that complies
with applicable UL standards. They do not require
grounding. "Double Insulated" tools, like this one,
have two prong cords and can use either a two or
three prong extension cord.
"This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way."

Extension Cords

As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
heavier gauge extension cords are required. The
use of extension cords of inadequate size wire
causes a serious drop in voltage and loss of
power. Protect the cord from damage. Keep cords
away from excessive heat, sharp edges and damp
or wet areas. Repair or replace damaged
extension cords before using.
