DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help pro-
tect against electri c sho ck. Double insula-
tion constr uct i on c onsists of t wo separate
“l ayers” of el ectr i cal insulati on instead of
grounding. Tools and appliances builtwith
a double insulati on s ystem are not in-
tended t o be g r ounded. No g r ounding
means is p r ovided on this unit, nor should
a means of grounding be added to this
unit. As a result, the extension cord used
wit h your unit can be plugged into any
standard 120 volt electr i cal outlet. Safety
precauti ons must be observed when op-
erati ng any electrical tool . T he double i n-
sulati on system only provides added pro-
tect ion against injury resulting from an
internal electrical insulation failure.
