Caution. Risk of electric shock.

• WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit

not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to com-

ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu-

ant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are

designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be deter-

mined by turning the equipment off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-

ence by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment

and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is con-

nected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

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 extension cord. Using extension cords with

inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in

voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool

damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the

required minimum wire size.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the

greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14

gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16

gauge cord. When using more than one extension

cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord

contains at least the minimum wire size required.

If you are using one extension cord for more than

one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the

sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors,

be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W”

in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for

outdoor use.

• Be 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 using it.

• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,

excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

• Unplug all cords during lightning storms or when

unused for long periods of time.

* Based on limiting the line voltage drop to five volts at

150% of the rated amperes.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within

an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user

to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous volt-

age" within the product's enclosure that may be of

sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric

shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle

is intended to alert the user to the presence of

important operating and maintenance (servicing)

instructions in the literature accompanying the

appliance.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO

USER-SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICI-

ING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
