DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help protect
against electric shock. Double insulation
construction consists of two separate "layers"
of electrical insulation instead of grounding.
Tools built with this insulation system are not
intended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor should a
means of grounding be added to this unit. As a
result, the extension cord used with your unit
can be plugged into any standard 120 volt
electrical outlet.
Safety precautions must be observed when
operating any electrical tool. The double in-
sulation system only provides added protec-
tion against injury resulting from an internal
electrical insulation failure.
WARNING:
this unit, including housing, switch, motor,
wires, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired
by qualified service personnel. Replacement
parts for a double insulated appliance must be
recommended by the manufacturer. A double
insulated appliance is marked with the words
"double insulation" or "double insulated". The
symbol (square within a square)
be marked on the appliance. Failure to have
the unit repaired by qualified service person-
nel can cause the double insulation construc-
tion to become ineffective and result in seri-
ous injury.
