Bosch Power Tools 1209, 1215, 1210 Double Insulated Tools, Extension Cords, Operating the Tool

Double Insulated Tools

•Double Insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recog- nized and approved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authori- ties.

IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. WHEN SER-

VICE IS REQUIRED USE ONLY IDENTI- CAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

POLARIZED PLUGS: If your tool is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not change the plug in any way.

Extension Cords

•Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.

•If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and amperage rating on the tool’s nameplate. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.

Note: Thesmallerthegaugenumber,thelarger the wire is in the cord.
