DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS
4.Tools 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.)
5.Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration. (See Figure B.)
FIGURE B
EXTENSION CORDS
1.Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
2.Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These cords are marked with the suffix
3.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.
4.Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
5.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.
