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 standard 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, including housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified ser- vice 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 service
personnel can cause the double insula- tion construction to become ineffective
and result in serious injury.
