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.
_1,
WARNING:The
double
insulated
system
isintended
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 product
to your nearest authorized
service
center for repair. Always
use original factory
replace -
ment parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This product
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
product
on direct current
(DC).
A substantial
voltage
drop
will cause
a loss of power
and the motor will overheat.
If
the product
does not operate
when plugged
into an outlet,
double-check
the power
supply.
EXTENSION
CORDS
See Figure
1, page L
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 "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before
using any extension
cord, inspect
it for loose or ex -
posed wires
and cut or worn insulation.
A proper extension
cord is available
at an authorized
service
center.
It is possible
to tie the extension
cord and power
cord in a
knot to prevent
them from becoming
disconnected
during
use. Make the knot as shown
in figure
1, then
connect
the
plug end of the power
cord into the receptacle
end of the
extension
cord. This
method
can also be used to tie two
extension
cords together.

NOTE: AWG - American Win Gauge
,_
WARNING:
Keep the extension
cord
clear of the
working
area. Position
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.
_lh
WARNING:Check
extension
cords before each
use. If damaged
replace
immediately.
Never
use the
product
with a damaged
cord since
touching
the
damaged
area could cause electrical
shock
resulting
in serious
injury.
