This tool is double-insulated, which means that two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. There is no
grounding provided, and no means of ground-ing should be added to this tool. Extreme care and knowledge of the
system is required when servicing a double-insulated tool. Service should be performed by qualified service personnel
only. Replace-ment parts for a double-insulated tool must be identical to the parts that they replace. Call the Toll-Free
Helpline (1-866-523-5218) for information concerning repairs. Double-insulated tools are marked with the words “double
insulation” or “double insulated.”

contain aromatic oils, such as pine and lemon, or solvents such as kerosene. These substances can damage the plastic
housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture using a soft cloth.
