Servicing of Double Insulated

Appliances

Your Blower/Vac 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.

Safety Rules and Instructions:

Extension Cords

Double insulated tools have 2-wire cords

and can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire

extension cords. Only round jacketed

extension cords should be used, and

we recommend that they be listed by

Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A.

in Canada). If the extension will be used

outside, the cord must be suitable for

outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor

can also be used for indoor work.

An extension cord must have adequate

wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)

for safety, and to prevent loss of power and

overheating. 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. When using more than one

extension to make up the total length, be

sure each individual extension contains at

least the minimum wire size. Before using

an extension cord, inspect it for loose or

exposed wires, damaged insulation, and

defective fittings. Make any needed repairs

or replace the cord if necessary.

To determine the minimum wire size

required, refer to the chart:

Safety Rules and Instructions:

Polarized Plug

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

equipment has a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other). This equipment

must be used with a suitable polarized 2

wire or 3 wire extension cord. Polarized

connections will fit together only one way.

Make sure that the receptacle end of the

extension cord has large and small blade

slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into

the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it

still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension

cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully

into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician

to install the proper outlet. Do not change

the tool plug or extension cord in any way.
