check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

3.
double insulated products are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. if
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. if it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
4.
5.

ucts or pull the plug from an outlet. keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. replace damaged power cords immediately.
Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6.
1.
when operating a product outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“w-a” or “w”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the
risk of electric shock.

grounded tools:tools witH tHree prong plugs
The Ultrasonic Cleaner has a 3-prong plug.
1.
Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the
tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resis-
tance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
(see 3-prong plug and outlet.)
2.
3.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the
only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to
an electrically “live” terminal. (see 3-prong plug and outlet.)
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like
those in the following illustration. (see 3-prong plug and outlet.)
3-prong plug and outlet
extension cords
1.
2.
Grounded 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
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a seri-
ous drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
(see table a.)
3.
4.
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.
(see table a.)
When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure
each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (see table a.)

for technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
Page 6
5.
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate am-
peres and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
(see table a.)
6.
7.
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix
“W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make 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 electri-
cian before using it.
8.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet
areas.
