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. As a result, the
extension cord used with your unit can
be plugged into any standard 120 volt
electrical outlet.
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.
A
WARNING: All electrical repairs
to this unit, including housing, switch,
motor, locking sleeve assembly, wires,
etc., must be diagnosed and repaired
by qualified service personnel. Re-
placement parts for a double insulated
appliance must be recommended by
the manufacturer. A double insulated
appliance is marked with the words
"double insulation" or "double insu-
lated". The symbol (square within a
square) [] may also be marked on
the appliance. Failure to have the unit
repaired by qualified service person-
nel can cause the double insulation
construction to become ineffective and
result in serious injury.
