Servicing Of Double Insulated Appliances; Additional Safety Information - Craftsman CMCL030 Manual De Instructiones

Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances

A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more of
the following: The words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE
INSULATED" or the double insulation symbol
Your area light is double-insulated to give you added
safety. In a double insulated appliance, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double insulated appliance, nor
should a means for grounding be added to the appliance.
Servicing a double insulated appliance requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for
a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with
the words double insulated or "double insulation". The
symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on
the appliance.
Use of Extension Cords with Area Light
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least
12 amps and has a third-wire ground.
When a long extension cord is used to connect a task light
or tool, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the
greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being
supplied to the task light or tool and increases the amount
of current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier
cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be
sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to
operate your tool and/or task light.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Keep extension cord
connection dry and off the ground.

WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition.
Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords because they
can cause electrical shock.

WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage
can cause it to overheat. Using an excessively long
extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
For more information about extension cord size
requirements, refer to the Minimum gauge for Cord sets
chart found under Aditional Safety Information.

Additional Safety Information


WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.



• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.
