Rules For Safe Operation - Ryobi TR31 Operator's Manual

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the
explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by
themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident
prevention measures.

DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. Double insulation
is a concept in safety, in electric power tools, which eliminates
the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All
exposed metal parts are isolated from internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools
do not need to be grounded.
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.
