DOUBLE
INSULATION
See Figure 2.
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.
_i_i WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND
ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.Failure
to follow all instructions
listed
below and on the machine may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious personal injury.
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.
Always
use original
replacement
parts as
listed in the Parts List pages of this manual.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This product
has a precision-built
electric
motor.
It
should
be connected
to a power supply
that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal
household
current).
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 the product
does not
operate
when plugged
into an outlet, double-check
the power supply.
EXTENSION
CORDS
See Figure 2.
When using a power tool at a considerable
distance
from a power
source,
be sure to use an extension
cord that has the capacity to handle the current
the
product
will draw. An undersized
cord will cause
a
drop in line voltage, resulting
in overheating
and loss
of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum
wire size required
in an extension
cord. Only round
jacketed
cords listed by Underwriter's
Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When
working
outdoors
with
a product,
use an
extension
cord that is designed for outside
use. This
type of cord is designated
with "WA" on the cord's
jacket.
Before using any extension
cord, inspect it for loose
or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
It is possible
to tie the extension
cord
and power
cord
in a knot
to prevent
them
from
becoming
disconnected
during use. Make the knot as shown in
figure 2, then connect the plug end of the power cord
into the receptacle
end of the extension
cord. This
method can also be used to tie two extension
cords
together.

,_
WARNING!
Keep the extension cord clear of
the working
area. Position the cord so that it will not
get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions
while
you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury.
,_
WARNING!
Check extension
cords before
each use. If damaged replace immediately.
Never use
the product with a damaged
cord since touching
the
damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in
serious injury.
