DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulationisa concept insafety in electricpower
tools, which eliminates the need for the usualthres-wlre
groundedpower cord. AJiexposedmetal partsare
isolatedfrom the internalmetal motor componentswith
protectinginsulation.Double insulatedtools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulated systemis
intendedto pmteot the userfrom shookresulting
from a break in the tool's internalinsulation.Observe
ell norm_ safetypresautio_s to evo{daIeotl'tce,I
shook.
NOTE: Servicingof a tool withdouble insulationrequires
extreme careand knowledge ofthe systemand should
be performedonly by a qualified servicetechnician. For
service,we suggestyou return the tool to yournearest
authorrzed servicecenterfor repair.A_vaysuse original
faotory replacementpartswhen servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This toolhas a precLsion-builtslectYicmotor,Itshould be
connectedto a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz,
AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on directcurrent (DC). Asubstantialvoltage drop
willcause a loss of powerand the motorwill overheat.If
yourtool does not operatewhen plugged into anoutlet,
double-check the power suppry.
EXTENSION CORDS
When usinga powertool at a considerabledistance from
a powersoume, be sureto use an extensioncordthat has
thecapacity to handle thecurrentthe tootwilldraw. An
undersizedcordwillcause a drop in tinsvoltage,resulting
inoverheatingand lose ofpower,Use the ohartto deter-
minethe minimumwire size requiredinan extensioncord.
Only roundjacketed cordslisted byUndsrwriter'sLabora-
tories(UL) shouk_be used.
Whenworking outdoorswith a tool, use an extension
cordthat is designed for outsideuse. Thistype of cord is
