DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric
power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal
parts are isolated from internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double
insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
IMPORTANT
Servicing 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 or repair center for
repair. Always use original factory replacement parts
