DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is Double Insulated to help
protect against electric shock. Double
insulationconstructionconsists of two
separate "layers"of electdcal insula-
tion instead of grounding.
Tools builtwith this insulationsystem
are not intended to be grounded. No
groundingmeans is providedon this
unit, nor should a means of grounding
be added to this unit.
Safety precautions must be observed
when operating any electrical tool. The
double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury result-
ing from an intemal alectdcal insulation
failure.
WARNING: All electrical repairs to
this unit, including housing, switch,
motor, etc., must be diagnosed and re-
paired by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double insu-
lated appliance must be recommended
by the manufacturer. A double insu-
lated 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 service personnel
can cause the double insulation
construction to become ineffective and
result in sedous injury.
