DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special 4.
double insulation system which satises OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure C.)
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the 5.
following illustration. (See Figure C.)

FIGURE C
EXTENSION CORDS
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and 3.
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure B.)
Grounded1. tools require a three wire extension cord. 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 2.
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
