Safety Rules and Instructions: Extension Cords

Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords and can be used with 2-wire

or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be

used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories

(U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada). If the extension will be used outside, the cord

must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor can also

be used 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, the greater the

capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge.

When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure

each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. Before

using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires, damaged

insulation, and defective fittings. Make any needed repairs or replace the cord

if necessary.

Safety Rules and Instructions: Polarized Plug 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 into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
