Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No ground- ing 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 out- let.
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.
WARNING: All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, mo- tor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replace- ment parts for a double insulated ap- pliance must be recommended by the manufacturer. A double insulated ap- pliance 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 qualified ser- vice personnel can cause the double in- sulation construction to become ineffec- tive and result in serious injury.
