ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools that 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.

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.

NOTE: Servicing a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system.

This should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the

product to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original replacement parts

intended for your particular model of tool when servicing.

WARNING: This tool is for outdoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

Guidelines for using extension cords

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 a drop in line

voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used

according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The

smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
