DeWalt DW675 - Double Insulation; Extension Cords; Motor

Double Insulation
Your unit is DOUBLE INSULATED to give you added safety. This
means that it is constructed throughout with TWO separate layers”
of electrical insulation or one DOUBLE thickness of insulation
between you and the tool’s 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.
Extension Cords
Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords and can be used with 2-
wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords
should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters’ Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension will be used
outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked
as outdoor can be used for indoor work. The letters “WA” on the
cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least
the minimum wire size.
To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart
below.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed
wires, damaged insulation and defective fittings. Make any needed
repairs or replace the cord if necessary.
CAUTION: When servicing all tools, USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.

Motor
Your DeWALT tool is powered by a DeWALT built motor. Be sure
your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking.
Volts 50/60 Hz or “AC only” means your tool must be operated only
with alternating current and never with direct current.
Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and
overheating. All DeWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does
not operate, check the power supply.
