CAUTION:
on its side on a stable surface where it will not
cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools will
stand upright but may be easily knocked over.
•
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.

Safety Rules and Instructions:
Extension Cords
WARNING:
shock, use only with an extension cord intended for
outdoor use, such as an extension cord of cord type
SW‑A, SOW‑A, STW‑A, STOW‑A, SJW‑A, SJOW‑A,
SJTW‑A. or SJTOW‑A.
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 a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The table 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. If the extension will
be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor work.
The letters "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is
suitable for outdoor use.
Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances
Your appliance is double‑insulated to give you added
safety. In a double insulated appliance, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding

Not Recommended
To reduce the risk of electric
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.
Safety Rules and Instructions:
Extension Cords
Double insulated appliances have 2‑wire cords and can
be used with 2‑wire or 3‑wire extension cords. Only
round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we
recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada). If the extension will be used outside,
the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked
as outdoor can also be used for indoor work.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires, damaged insulation, and defective fittings.
Make any needed repairs or replace the cord if necessary.
Safety Rules and Instructions:
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
14
equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or
12
3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together
12
only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the
extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the
plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If
the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change
the appliance plug or extension cord in any way.
