In a double insulatedappliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding meansis provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added tothe appliance. Servicing a double insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledgeof the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts fora double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double insulatedappliance 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 CordsDouble insulated tools have 2-wire cords and can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extensioncords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they belisted by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada). If the extension will be usedoutside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor can also beused for indoor work.An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety,and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, thegreater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. Whenusing more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extensioncontains at least the minimum wire size. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose orexposed wires, damaged insulation, and defective fittings. Make any needed repairs orreplace the cord if necessary.To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart below:WARNING: Some dust created by this product contains chemicals known to the Stateof California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.Some examples of these chemicals are:• compounds in fertilizers• compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumberTo reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear approved safety equipment such as dustmasks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.WARNING: This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State ofCalifornia to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.Wash hands after handling.Minimum Gage for Cord SetsVolts Total Length of Cord in Feet120V 0-25 26-50 51-100 101-150240V 0-50 51-100 101-200 201-300Ampere RatingMore Not more American Wire GageThan Than0 - 6 18 16 16 146 - 10 18 16 14 1210 - 12 16 16 14 1212 - 16 14 12 Not RecommendedKEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:•Before operating, make sure the interlock is actuated.
