DOUBLEINSULATION

Double Insulation is a concept in safety, replacing

the standard grounded supply system, in electric

power tools. The construction of a double insulated tool affords compatible protection to a properly grounded tool without the necessity for using a

grounded conductor, The double insulation system eliminates the need for the usual three wire ground-

ed power cord and grounded cupply system. Wher- ever there is electric current in the tool there are two complete sets of insulation to protect the user.

All exposed metal parts ore isolated from the in- ternol metal motor components with protecting in. sulation. The lead wires, switch, etc. with their

The following guidelines may be used in deter-

mining correct speed for various applications: LOW speed is ideal for starting cuts, sawing ceramics, as well as other applications where minimum speed and power is required. MEDIUM speed is suitable

functional insulation have the added protection of non-conductive sleeving or housings to complete the

double insulation system.

SERVICING OF A TOOL WITH DOUBLE INSULA- TION REQUIRES EXTREME CARE AND KNOWL. EDGE OF THE SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE PER- FORMED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECH- NICIAN. FOR SERVICE WE SUGGEST YOU RE-

TURN THE TOOL TO YOUR NEAREST SEARS STORE FOR REPAIR WHICH WILL BE DONE WITH ORIGINAL FACTORY REPLACEMENT

HIGH speed produces best results in sawing wood and n.on-ferrous metals such as aluminum which requfre high speeds and maximum power.

AVOID RUNNING AT SLOW SPEEDS FOR EX- TENDED PERIOD OF TIME WHEN POSSIBLE. AT

SLOWER SPEEDS UNDER CONSTANT PROLONG- ED USAGE, THE UNIT MAY BECOME OVERHEAT- ED. SHOULD THIS OCCUR: RUN TOOL WITH NO LOAD AT MAXIMUM SPEED TO COOL THE UNIT. THIS WILL ACCELERATE COOLING PRO.
