grounded powercord and grounded supply system_ Wherever
there is electric current in the toot there are two complete sets
of insulation to protect the user_ All exposed metal parts are
isolated from internal metal motorcomponentswith protecting
insulation_

requires extreme care and knowledge of the system arrd
should be performed only by a qualified service technician,

Sears Store for repair, Always use original factory replacement
parts when servicing.

user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions
related to avoiding electrical shock.
