GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool.
Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the
power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facil-
ity before use. If the plug will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualied electrician.
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS
Note: The AC/DC Adapter included with this Boat has a 2-Pronged plug.
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special 1.
double insulation system which satises OSHA requirements and complies with the
applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the 2.
preceding illustration. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded1. tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can
use either a two or three wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge 2.
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a seri-
ous drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
(See Table A.)
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure 3.
each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)
