DouBLe iNsuLAtioN
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools,
which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded
power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the
internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WArNiNG:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's in-
ternal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to
avoid electrical shock.
Note: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replace-
ment parts when servicing.
eLeCtriCAL CoNNeCtioN
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.

eXteNsioN CorDs
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with "W-A" or "W" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WArNiNG:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Posi-
tion the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools,
or other obstructions while you are working with a power
tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
WArNiNG:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged re-
place immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical
shock resulting in serious injury.
