CHECK EXTENSION CORDS BEFORE EACH USE. IF DAMAGED REPLACE IMMEDIATELY.
NEVER USE TOOL WITH A DAMAGED CORD SINCE TOUCHING THE DAMAGED AREA
COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.
W ARN I N G
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.
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. 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.
DOUBLE INSULATION
NOTE:
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the
usual three-wire 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.
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. For service, we suggest
you return
the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement
parts when servicing..
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.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power product 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 “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose orexposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
