Electrical Requirements
Double Insulated Tools
Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved
system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.
IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system
and should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Extension Cords
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electrical shock. Tools equipped with an electrical cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided in any way. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to
prevent overheating and motor burned-out; use the table below to determine the minimum wire size
(A .W .G.) of extension cord.
Use only three (3) wire extension cords that have three (3) prong grounding plugs, and three (3) pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
