Rules For Safe Operation - Craftsman 315.115031 Owner's Manual

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
DOUBLE INSULATION is a safety concept in electric 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 internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions
related to avoiding electrical shock.
