at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and

Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances
Your appliance is double-insulated to give you added safety.
In a double insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A
double insulated appliance is marked with the words double
insulated or “double insulation”. The symbol (square within a
square) may also be marked on theappliance.
Safety Rules and Instructions:
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.) (C.S.A. in
Canada). If the extension will be used outside, the cord must
be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor
can also be used for indoorwork.
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.
Safety Rules and Instructions:
PolarizedPlug
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.
