of electric shock.

(See 3-Prong Plug

and outlet.)
The grounding prong in the plug is

connected through the green wire in-

side the cord to the grounding system

in the tool. The green wire in the cord

must be the only wire connected to

the tool’s grounding system and must

never be attached to an electrically

“live” terminal.

(See 3-Prong Plug

and outlet.)
The tool must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet, properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all

codes and ordinances. The plug and

outlet should look like those in the

preceding illustration.

(See 3-Prong

Plug and outlet.)

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.

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.)

If you are using an extension cord

outdoors, make sure it is marked with

the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor

use.
Make sure the extension cord is prop-

erly wired and in good electrical con-
