Servicing of double-insulated ma-
chines
In a double-insulated machine, two
systems of insulation are provided in-
stead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulat-
ed machine, nor should a means for
grounding be added to the machine.
Servicing a double-insulated machine
requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system, and should be done only
by qualified service personnel. Re-
placement parts for a double-insulated
machine must be identical to the parts
they replace.
General notes
Read these original operat-
ing instructions and the en-
closed safety instructions before using
the device for the first time. Proceed
accordingly.
Keep both books for future reference
or for future owners.
