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 intended to be grounded.
No
grounding
means is provided on 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 in-
jury resulting from an internal electrical
insulation
failure.

All electrical
repairs
to this unit, including
housing,
switch,
motor, etc., must be diagnosed
and
repaired by qualified service person-
nel. Replacement
parts for a double
insulated appliance
must be recom-
mended 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
service personnel
can cause the
double insulation
construction
to be-
come ineffective
and result in serious
injury.
