Tools built with this insulation system are
not intended to be grounded. No ground-
ing 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 out-
let.
Safety precautions must be observed
when operating any electrical tool. The
double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury resulting
from an internal electrical insulation failure.
WARNING:
All electrical repairs to
this unit, including housing, switch, mo-
tor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired
by qualified service personnel. Replace-
ment parts for a double insulated ap-
pliance must be recommended by the
manufacturer. A double insulated ap-
pliance is marked with the words “double
insulation” or “double insulated.” the
symbol (square within a square)
may
also be marked on the appliance. Failure
to have the unit repaired by qualified ser-
vice personnel can cause the double in-
sulation construction to become ineffec-
tive and result in serious injury.
