RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

DOUBLE INSULATION is a safety concept in electric power

of insulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions
related to avoiding electrical shock.
