Craftsman 315.27984 manual Double Insulation, Extension Cords

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulationis a concept in safety in electricpower tools, which eliminates the need for the usualthres-wlre

grounded power cord. AJiexposed metal parts are isolatedfrom the internalmetal motor componentswith protectinginsulation.Double insulatedtools do not need to be grounded.

WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to pmteot the user from shook resulting from a break in the tool'sinternalinsulation.Observe

ell norm_ safety presautio_s to evo{daIeotl'tce, shook.

NOTE: Servicingof a tool with double insulationrequires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performedonly by a qualified servicetechnician. For service,we suggestyou return the tool to your nearest authorrzed service center for repair.A_vaysuse original faotory replacement parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool has a precLsion-builtslectYicmotor,Itshouldbe connected to a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on directcurrent (DC). A substantialvoltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If yourtool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-checkthe power suppry.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using a power tool at a considerabledistance from

apower soume, be sure to use an extensioncord that has the capacity to handle the currentthe toot will draw. An undersizedcordwill cause a drop in tinsvoltage, resulting in overheatingand lose of power, Use the ohartto deter- mine the minimumwire size required in an extensioncord. Only roundjacketed cords listed by Undsrwriter'sLabora- tories (UL) shouk_be used.

WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the workingarea, Positionthe cord so that itwiU not get

caught on lumber,toolsor other obstructfonswhile you are workingwith a power tool. Failureto do so can result in serious personalinjury.

WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged repface Immediately.Never use tool
