DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION
This unit is Double Insulated to help pro-
tect against electric shock. Double insula-
tion construction consists of two separate
“layers” of electrical insulation instead of
grounding.
Tools and appliances built with a double in-
sulation system are not intended to be
grounded. No grounding means is provided
on this unit, nor should a means of ground-
ing be added to this unit. As a result, the ex-
tension cord used with your unit can be
plugged into any standard 120 volt electri-
cal outlet.
Safety precautions must be observed
when operating any electrical tool. A
double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury resulting
from internal electrical insulation failure.
WARNING:
All electrical repairs to this
unit, including housing, switch, motor, etc.,
must be diagnosed and repaired by quali-
fied service personnel. Replacement parts
for a double insulated appliance must be
identical to the parts they replace. A double
insulated appliance is marked with the
words
DOUBLE INSULATION
or
DOUBLE IN-
SULATED
. The symbol
(square within a
square) may also be marked on the ap-
pliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by
qualified service personnel can cause the
double insulation construction to become
ineffective and result in serious injury.
