DOUBLE INSULATION CONSTRUCTION

This unit is double insulated to help

protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two

separate "layers" of electrical insula- tion instead of grounding.

Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No grounding 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 outlet.

Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against in-

jury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure.

A

WARNING: All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, locking sleeve assembly, wires, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Re- placement parts for a double insulated

appliance must be recommended by the manufacturer. A double insulated

appliance is marked with the words "double insulation" or "double insu-

lated". The symbol (square within a

square) [] may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit

repaired by qualified service person- nel can cause the double insulation

construction to become ineffective and result in serious injury.
