Extension Cords
• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of
damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors should be used to
prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power
or overheating. The table below shows the
correct size to use, depending on cord length
and amperage rating on the tool’s nameplate.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always
use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Ampere Rating (shown on nameplate)
0- 2.1- 3.5- 5.1- 7.1- 12.1-
2.0 3.4 5.0 7.0 12.0 16.0

Note: The smaller the gauge number, the larger
the wire is in the cord.

Double Insulated Tools
• Double Insulation is a design concept used in
electric power tools which eliminates the need
for the three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system. It is a recog-
nized and approved system by Underwriter’s
Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authori-
ties.
IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with
double insulation requires care and knowledge
of the system and should be performed only by
a qualified service technician. WHEN SER-
VICE IS REQUIRED USE ONLY IDENTI-
CAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
POLARIZED PLUGS: If your tool is equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), this plug will 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 to install the
proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric
shock do not change the plug in any way.
