DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
Your powerhead should be double insulated
to help protect against electric shock.Double
insulation construction consists of two sepa-
rate “layers” of electrical insulation insteadof
grounding. Tools and appliances built with a
double insulation system are not intended to
be grounded.Safety precautions mustbe ob-
served when operating any electrical tool.
The double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury resulting from
an internal electrical insulation failure.
WARNING: All repairs to an electric
powerhead, including housing, switch,motor,
etc., must be diagnosed and repai red by qual-
ified service personnel. Replacement parts
fora double insulated appl iance must be iden-
tical to the parts they replace. Adouble i nsu-
lated appliance is marked with the words
“double insulation” or “double insulated”. The
symbol (squarewithin a square) may also
be marked on the appliance. Failure to have
the unit repaired by your authorized service
dealer can cause the double ins ulation con-
struction to become ineffectiv e and result in
serious injury.
