, ILWARNING:

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 and appliances built with a double insulation system are not in- tended to be grounded, No grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a means of grounding be add- ed to this unit, As a result, the exten- sion cord used with your unit can be plugged into any polarized 120 volt electrical outlet. 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.

, ILWARNING:

All electrical repairs to this unit, includ- ing housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified 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 insulated". The symbol [] (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by Sears ser-

vice personnel can cause the double insulation construction to become inef-

fective and result in serious injury.
