DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire
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.
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.
WARNING:
ALTHOUGH THIS TOOL IS DOUBLE INSULATED, THE EXTENSION CORD AND RECEPTACLE MUST STILL BE
GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use product with a damaged
cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
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 tool to your
nearest authorized service center for repair. Always demand that original factory replacement parts be
used when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 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 your product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
GFCI
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
product.Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before use. Keep extension cords away from sharp objects,excessive heat
and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit should comprise a wire of at least 12 gauge and should be
protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the electric current is identical to that stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will
damage the motor.
