z_Safety Rules and instructions: Extension Cords
Double rnsulatedtools have 2-wire cordsand can be used with 2-wire
or 3-wireextension cords. Only round jacketedextension cords should be
used, and we recommendthat they be listedby UnderwritersLaboratories
(U.L.) (C.S.A.inCanada). Ifthe extension will be used outside,the cord
must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor can also
be used for indoorwork. An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG orAmerican Wire Gauge) for safety, and toprevent lossof power
and overheating. Thesmaller the gauge number ofthe wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is 16gauge hasmore capacity than 18gauge.
When using morethan one extension to make upthe total length,be sure
each individual extension contains atleastthe minimum wiresize. Before
using an extension cord,inspect it for loose or exposed wires, damaged
insulation, and defectivefittings. Make any neededrepairs or replace the cord
if necessary.

z_Safety Rules and instructions: Polarized Pluq
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized-plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This equipment must be used with a
suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized connections will
fit together 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 intothe outlet, contact
a qualifiedelectrician to installthe proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug
or extension cord inany way.
