DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
The charger supplied with this unit is double
insulated to help protect against electric
shock. Double insulation construction con-
sists of two separate “layers” of electrical in-
sulation 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 added to this unit.
Safety precautions must be observed when
operating any electrical tool. The double in-
sulation system only provides added protec-
tion against injury resulting from an internal
electrical insulation failure.
WARNING: All electrical repairs to
this unit, including housing, switch, motor,
wires, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired
by qualified service personnel. Replacement
