normally. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
14. A battery operated radio with in-
tegral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the
battery. A charger that may be suit-
able for one type of battery may create
a risk of fire when used with another
battery.
15. Use battery operated radio only
with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other batter-
ies may create a risk of fire.
16. When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,

GROUNDING
Double Insulated Radios:
Radios with Two Prong Plugs
Radios marked “Double Insulated” do not
require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies
OSHA requirements and complies with the
applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association and the National Electrical Code.
Double Insulated radios may be used in
either of the 120 volt outlets shown in Figures A and B.
Fig. A
Fig. B
EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulated tools can use either a two
or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you
must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately
sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown
to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire,
the greater the capacity of the cord. For
example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a
higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When
using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord
for more than one tool, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine the
required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the
suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from
sharp objects, excessive heat and
damp or wet areas.
• Unplug all cords during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
