gNTRODUCTION
DOUBLE INSULATION is a concept in safety, in
etectric 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 complete sets of
insulation to protect the user_ All exposed metal
parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation..
IMPORl'ANT_Servicing of a tool with double in-
sulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician.. For service we suggest you
return the tool to your nearest Sears Store for repair.
Always use original factory replacement parts when
servicing.
