DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help pro-
tect against elect r i c shock. Double insula-
tion construction consists of t wo separat e
“l ayers” of elect r i cal insulation instead of
grounding. Tools and appli ances buil twit h
a d ouble insulation system are not in-
tended to be grounded. N o grounding
means is provided on this uni t , norshould
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 el ectr i cal outlet. Safety
precauti ons must be observed when op-
erati ng any electri cal tool . The double in-
sulation system only pr ovides added pro-
tection against injury resulting from an
internal electrical insulation failure.
