WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result

DOUBLE INSULATION
Doubleinsulationis aconcept insafetyin electricpower
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protect-
ing insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be
grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s in-
ternalinsulation.Observeallnormalsafetyprecautions

EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power product at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An

When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket such
as an extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
