be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances
Your Blower 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 cord to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension cord 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.
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.
