_DOUBLE
INSULATED to help protect against
electric shock. Double insulation construction
consists of 2 separate "layers" of electric insulation.
Appliances built with this insulation system are not
intended to be grounded. As a result, the extension
cord used with your unit can be plugged into any
conventional 120 volt electrical outlet. Normal safety
precautions must be observed when operating an
electrical appliance. The double insulation system is
only for added protection against injury resulting from
a possible internal electrical insulation failure.

square) is used as the oniy marking to identify a unit
as being double insulated,
the symbol
shall be
defined in the instruction manual.

EXTENSION CORD - Use only with an extension
cord intended for outdoor use. Match wire gauge to
the cord {ength. See table below. A 2-wire cord with-
out a ground connection
may be used since this
appliance is double insulated. If in doubt of proper
wire size, use the next heavier gauge. Please note
that the smalter the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
