Servicing of Double Insulated Appliances
Your Blower/Vac is double-insulated to give you added safety. In a
double insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double
insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added
to the appliance. Servicing a double insulated appliance requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double
insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A
double insulated appliance is marked with the words double insulated
or “double insulation”. The symbol (square within a square) may also
be marked on the appliance.
