DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation [s a concept in safety, in electric
power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
three wire grounded power cord and grounded supp-
ly system. Wherever there is electric current in the
tool there are two complete sets of insulation to pro-
tect the user. AI exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internat metal motor components with pro-
tecting insulation.
