INTRODUCTION

DOUBLE INSULATION is a concept in safety, in electric
power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three

wire grounded power cord and grounded suppty system,
Wherever there is electric current in the tool there are two

complete sets of insulation to protect the user. AiI exposed
metal parts are isolated from internal metal motor compo-

nents with protecting Insulation.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

circular saw should never be used for cutting tree

limbs or logs.

21. MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN

GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the

current your product wilrdraw. An undersized cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.)

of at least 16 is recommended for an extension
cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding

1O0 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaner the gage number,
the heavier the cord.
