Electrical Information
DOUBLE INSULATED
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power 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 protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not
need to be grounded.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we
suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized service centre for repair. Always use
original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that
is 120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct
current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
If the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS (See Fig. 4)
Fig. 4
When using a power tool 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 undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart
to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round-jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
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.
!
WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to
protect the user from shock resulting from a break in
the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electrical shock.
