Extension Cord
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SW-A, S0W-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
Double Insulation
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two
separate layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness
of insulation between you and the toolÅfs electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be
grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong
plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern
for maintaining a ground connection. NOTE: Double insulation does not
take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The
insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a
possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: When servicing all tools, USE IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.
Polarized Plugs
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This equipment must be used with a
suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections
will fit together only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the
extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit
fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a
suitable extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
tool plug or extension cord in any way.
