DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is doubleinsulated tohelp pro-
tect against electric shock. Double in-
sulation construction consists of two
separate “layers” of electrical insulation
instead of grounding.
Tools built with this insulation system
are not intended to be grounded. No
grounding means is provided on this
unit, nor should a means of grounding
be addedto this unit. As aresult, theex-
tension cord used with your unit can be
pluggedinto anystandard 120voltelec-
trical outlet.
Safety precautions must be observed
when operating anyelectrical tool. The
double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury result-
ing from an internal electrical insulation
failure.
WARNING:
All electrical repairs to
this unit, including housing, switch, mo-
tor, etc., must be diagnosed and re-
paired by qualified service personnel.

lated appliance must be recommended

lated”. The symbol (square within a

paired by qualified service personnel
