not intended to be grounded. No ground-
ing means is provided on this unit, nor
should a means of grounding be added

let.

when operating any electrical tool. The
double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury resulting
from an internal electrical insulation failure.

this unit, including housing, switch, mo-
tor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired
by qualified service personnel. Replace-
ment parts for a double insulated ap-
pliance must be recommended by the
manufacturer. A double insulated ap-
pliance is marked with the words "double
insulation" or "double insulated." the
symbol (square within a square)
also be marked on the appliance. Failure
to have the unit repaired by qualified ser-
vice personnel can cause the double in-
sulation construction to become ineffec-
tive and result in serious injury.
