DOUBLE INSULATION

.... Double Insulation is a concept in safety, replacing the stan-

dard grounded supply system, in electric power tools. The construction of a double insqtated tool affords compatible

protection to a properly grounded toot without the necessity

for using a grounded conductor. The double insulation

system eliminates the need for the usual three wire grounded power cord and grounded supply system. Wherever there is

electric current in the tool there are two complete sets of insulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts'are

isolated from the internal metal motor components with pro- tecting insulation. The lead wires, switch, etc. with their

• functional insulation have the added protection of non con- ductive sleeving or housings to complete the double insula-

tion system.

SERVICING OF A TOOL WITH DOUBLE INSULATION RE- 9.
