DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help
protect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two
separate "layers" of electrical insula-
tion instead of grounding. Tools built
with this insulation system are not in-
tended to be grounded. No grounding
means is provided on this unit, nor
should a means of grounding be add-
ed to this unit. As a result, the exten-
sion cord used with your unit can be
plugged into any standard t20 volt
electrical outlet. Safety precautions
must be observed when operating any
electrical tool. The double insulation
system only provides added protec-
tion against injury resulting from an
internal electrical insulation failure.
_[_WARNING: Atl electrical repairs
to this unit, including housing, switch,
motor, wires, etc., must be diagnosed
and repaired by qualified service per-
sonnel. 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) [] may also
be marked on the appliance. Failure to
have the unit repaired by qualified ser-
vice personnel can cause the double
insulation construction to become inef-
fective and result in serious injury.
