WirE cONNEctiON:

Check with a qualified

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 facility

before use. if the plug will not

fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

double insulated tools: tools

with two prong plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do

not require grounding. They have

a special double insulation system

which satisfies OSHA requirements

and complies with the applicable

standards of Underwriters Labora-

tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard

Association, and the National Electri-

cal Code.

(See Outlets for 2-prong

plug.)
Double insulated tools may be used

in either of the 120 volt outlets shown

in the preceding illustration.

(See

Outlets for 2-prong plug.)

Extension cords

Grounded

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 extension cord. Using exten-

sion cords with inadequately sized

wire causes a serious drop in voltage,

resulting in loss of power and pos-

sible tool damage.

(See table a.)
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.

(See table a.)

When using more than one exten-

sion cord to make up the total length,

make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required.

(See table a.)
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

cord size.

(See table a.)
