Page 4 dOUBLE INSULATEd APPLIANCES: APPLIANCES WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS Note: The Battery Charger has a Two Prong Plug. Appliances marked "Double Insulated" do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. , the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B. ) Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration. (See Figure B. ) 2. Figure B EXTENSION CORdS 1. Grounded appliances require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated products can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (See Figure C, next page. ) The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Figure C. ) When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Figure C. ) If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Figure C. ) If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas. 3. 7. 8. SKU 93781 For technical questions please call 1-800-444-3353.
