Your unit is double insulated to help pro-

tion construction consists of two separate
“layers” of electrical insulation instead of
grounding.
Tools and appliances built with a double
insulation system are not intended to be
grounded. No grounding means is pro-
vided on this unit, nor should a means for
grounding be added to this unit. As a re-
sult, the extension cord used with your
unit canbe pluggedinto anystandard120

operating any electrical tool. The double in-
sulation system only p rovides added pro-
tection against injury resulting from an inter-
nal electrical insulation failure.
WARNING:
All electrical repairs to
this unit, including housing, switch, motor,
etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by

LATED.”
The symbol (square within a

pliance. Failure to have the unit repaired
by an Authorized Service Dealer can
