DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help pro-
tect against elect r i c shock. Double insula-
tion construction consists of tw o separate
“l ayers” of el ectr i cal insulati on instead of
grounding. Tools and appli ances built wi th
a double insulati on s ystem are not in-
tended t o be g r ounded. No g r ounding
means is provided on this unit, nor should
a means of grounding be added to this
unit. As a result, the extension co rd use d
wit h your unit can be plugged into any
stan dard 120 vol t el e ctrical outle t. Saf ety
precauti ons must be observed when op-
erati ng any electrical tool . Th e double in-
sulati on system only provid es added pro-
tect ion against injury resulting from an
intern al el ectrical insulation failure .
