ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

DOUBLE

INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric

power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual

threewire 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.

NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation

requires extreme care and knowledge of the system

and should be performed only by a qualified service

technician. Take the unit to a qualified service dealer

for inspection and possible repair using only identical

replacement parts.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It

should be connected to a power supply that is 120

volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz.

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.

Make 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 use.
Keep extension cords away from sharp objects

excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This

circuit should comprise a wire of at least 12
gauge and should be protected with a 15 A time-

delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the

power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position

and the electric current is identical to that stamped on

the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will

damage the motor.

WARNING!

ALTHOUGH THIS TOOL IS

DOUBLE INSULATED, THE EXTENSION CORD AND

RECEPTACLE MUST STILL BE GROUNDED WHILE

IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM

ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

WARNING!

Check extension cords before

each use. If damaged replace immediately.

Never use product with a damaged cord since touching

the damaged area could cause electrical shock

resulting in serious injury.

Do not operate this product on direct current (DC).

A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power

and the motor will overheat. If your product does not

operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the

power supply.

GFCI
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection

should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be

used for the product.Receptacles are available having

built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this

measure of safety.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 overheating. The table below shows

the correct size to use depending on cord length and

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next

heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the

heavier the cord.
