sulation system only provides added protec-
tion against injury resulting from an internal
electrical insulation failure.

this unit, including housing, switch, motor,
locking sleeve assembly,wires, etc., mustbe
diagnosed and repaired by qualified service

pliance is marked with the words “double in-
sulation” or “double insulated”. The symbol

may also be
marked on the appliance. Failure to have the
unit repaired by qualified service personnel
can cause the double insulation construction
to become inef fective and result in serious
