Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances
A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more of the following: The words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED" or the double insulation symbol
Your task light is double-insulated to give you added safety. In a double insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words double insulated or "double insulation". The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
Use of Extension Cords with Task light
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 12 amps and has a third-wire ground.
When a long extension cord is used to connect a task light or tool, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being supplied to the task light or tool and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate your tool and/or task light.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground.
WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords because they can cause electrical shock.
WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
For more information about extension cord size requirements, refer to the Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets chart found under Important Safety Instructions for the Battery Charger.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sanding, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
- Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side can be stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
