Symbols
• The label on your tool may include the
following symbols. The symbols and
their definitions are as follows:
V ..................volts
A ..................amperes
Hz ................hertz
W ................. watts
min ..............minutes
or AC ......alternating current
or DC ..direct current
no ................no load speed
................Class I Construction
................earthing terminal
(grounded)
...............safety alert symbol
................Class II Construction
(double insulated)
.../min or rpm ...revolutions or
reciprocation per minute
•
When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized
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 gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
