IMPORTANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be performed
only by a qualified service technician. For service we suggest
you return the tool to your nearest AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER or other QUALIFIED SERVICE ORGANIZATION
for repair. When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. This means you
are separated from the tool's electrical system by two complete
sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of insulation is
intended to protect the user from electrical shock due to a
break in the wiring insulation. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be
grounded.
