INTRODUCTION
DOUBLE INSULATION is a concept in safety, in
eleclric power tools, which eliminates the need for
the usual three wire grounded power cord and
grounded supply system. Wherever there is electric
current in the tool there are two comDlete sets of in-
sulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts
are isolated from the internal metal comDonents
