when operating any electrical tool.

ry resulting from an internal electric_
sulation failure.

to this unit, including housing, switch,

nel. Replacement parts for a double
insulated appliance must be recom-
mended by the manufacturer. A

be marked on the appliance. Failure
to have the unit repaired by qualified
service personnel can cause the
double insutationconstruction to be-
come ineffective and result in serious
