DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
Your powerhead should be double insulated
to helpprotect against electric shock. Double
insulation construction consists of two sepa-
rate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of
grounding. Tools and appliances built w ith a
double insulation system are not intended to
be grounded.Safetyprecautions must be ob-
served when operating any electrical tool.
The double insulation system only provides
addedprotection agai nst injury resultingfrom
an internal electrical insulation failure.

lated appliance is marked with the words
“double insulation” or “double i nsulated”. The

be marked on the appliance. Failure to have
the unit repaired by your authorized service
