ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three- wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated products do not need to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the product’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product 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 product to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replace- ment parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
See Figure 1.
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which guards against the hazards of ground fault currents. An example of ground fault current is the current that would flow through a person who is using an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
GFCI plugs do not protect against short circuits, overloads, or shocks.
NOTE: After the unit is connected to a power source, it is ready for use. It is not necessary to press the reset button before initial start up.
The GFCI plug can be tested with the TEST and RESET buttons.
To test:
Depress the TEST button. This should cause the RESET button to pop out.
To restore power, depress the RESET button.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the GFCI.
