charge.

0

of
"merchantability" and "fitness for a specific purpose", after the one-year
term

vent damage or fire.
Double insulated tools, like this one, have
two
prong cords, and can use either a
two
or three
prong extension cord. As the distance from the
supply outlet increases, however, heavier gauge
extension cords are required. The use of extension
cords of inadequate size wire causes a serious
drop in voltage and
loss
of power. Protect the cord
from damage. Keep cords away from excessive
heat, sharp edges and damp or wet areas. Repair
or replace damaged extension cords before using.
