ELECTRICAL

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric products, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated products do not need to be grounded.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the product's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.

NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This is a hybrid product capable of operating on alternating current (AC) through an extension cord or direct current (DC) through a battery pack. If the product does not operate when an extension cord or battery pack is installed, double-check the power supply.

■ To use alternating current, connect the product to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz.
■ To use direct current, install a manufacturer-recommended 18 volt battery pack only.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using a product at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When using this product outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with "WA" or "W" on the cord's jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
