DOUBLE INSULATED

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for
the usual threewire 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.
W A R N I N G
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in
the tool's internal insulation. 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 replacement parts when servicing.

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.
