Double-insulated Appliance

In a double-insulated appliance, 2 systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided
on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for
grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated
appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,
and should be done only by the qualified service personnel at
your Authorized Toro Service Dealer. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts that they
replace. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words
"Double Insulation" or "Double Insulated." The symbol (square
within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.

Storage
Store the trimmer and the extension cord indoors in a cool, dry
location and out of the reach of children and animals.
NOTICE! Do not rest the trimmer on the guard, or it may warp
and interfere with the cutting line.
